Thoughtfully restored kitchen and bath spaces complement the home's historic integrity, while updated electrical, plumbing, HVAC, insulation, and other major systems provide confidence for today's homeowner without compromising its authenticity.Outdoor living is equally exceptional, featuring a screened porch, courtyard terrace, and spacious deck overlooking the Mill Race-creating a seamless connection between the home and its remarkable setting. The iconic original carriage house and unfinished basement offer additional character, storage, and future possibilities.Located just moments from downtown Salem, the Oregon State Capitol, Willamette University, parks, shopping, and dining, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Salem's most distinctive and historically significant homes.
