A rare offering in Downtown Eugene, this extraordinary early-1900s Craftsman has been comprehensively re-imagined with an exceptional level of care, preserving its architectural integrity while thoughtfully adapting the home for modern living. Extensively rebuilt in collaboration with architect Nir Pearlson, the home was opened to create a more functional floor plan, yet the renovation honors the home’s original character. The main level features hand-selected white oak flooring, while original fir floors upstairs were preserved & refinished. All windows were replaced with premium wood double-hung units, true to the home’s period aesthetic. The kitchen is a standout appointed with heavy flake quartersawn white oak cabinetry, leathered granite counters, high-end stainless appliances, a commercial-grade gas range, & a striking copper sink. Original craftsmanship remains front & center in the living spaces, where fir base & crown moldings, oversized wood pocket doors, original chandeliers, & mission style vertical grain fir built-ins create warmth & authenticity. Upstairs, the expanded primary suite includes a sitting area & additional walk-in closet, while the main bath offers a double sink oversized vanity, a clawfoot tub, and a gorgeous tile shower. The detached garage was converted into a charming cottage complete with living area, loft, and full bath-ideal for guests, studio space, or flexible use. Inspired by Pasadena’s Bungalow Heaven, the rebuilt covered front & rear porches are defining architectural features and provide exceptional year-round enjoyment. The grounds are equally compelling, with mature landscaping, a tranquil fountain & a peaceful zen-like backyard setting. Major system upgrades include full plumbing, electrical, HVAC, insulation, & roof replacement in 2017, optional foundation reinforcement & a new water heater in 2025, exterior paint 2026. A truly special home for those who appreciate architectural authenticity & design done right.
