Property Description

A rare Queen Anne style, Victorian jewel is available for the first time in over 30 years. 3,380 sf with 6+ private office, full basement and unfished attic all of which has been maintained with meticulous attention to detail. Take a step back in time to a kind, gentle era when a quieter pace prevailed.This gracious, elegant, and inviting property is situated on a large, prominent corner lot in the West University Neighborhood. Framed by a crisp, custom oak, white picket fence, the colorful garden provides year-round interest and mirrors the eight hues of the stately yet welcoming beauty.This historic piece of architecture is on the Oregon Cultural Resource Registry. A Sears kit house, it was constructed in 1910. The siding and interior trim is vertical grain fir from Pacific Northwest forests. It was built for Dr. Zopher Davis (where he attended patients) and his family. It was later home to the Sigma Beta Phi Sorority in 1923, and then to nurses working at Sacred Heart Hospital. In the early 1990’s, the house was painstakingly renovated by a Chicago Craftsman specializing in historic restoration. Entering the living areas through the foyer, you are greeted by a succession of large, light filled rooms, each with rich and distinctive wallpapers and carefully chosen borders, painted accents and custom draperies. Electrical, heating, and plumbing systems have all been updated, yet great care has been taken to retain the homes original grace and elegance. In 1994, the home went through a legal change of occupancy from residential to commercial zoning. It housed Soft Horizons Fibre for nearly 30 years. The C-2 zoning is compatible with a broad range of commercial uses including retail and offices.
