Step back in time without leaving modern comforts behind. Known as the historic 'Sheriff Mass Residence', this captivating Queen Anne Vernacular home, built circa 1893, sits in the heart of West Linn's beloved Historic Willamette District on a corner lot. Rich in character and thoughtfully maintained, this 4-bedroom home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history. An inviting L-shaped front porch welcomes you into an interior where original craftsmanship tells a story more than 130 years in the making. Original hardwood floors, solid wood pocket doors separating the main-level parlors, bay windows, intricate moldings, staircase banister, period light fixtures, and even original light switches preserve the home's remarkable authenticity. Beautiful stained-glass windows add timeless character throughout. Outside, an enchanting garden with a Silver Habitat (cert in progress) features a mature fig tree, dogwood, roses, blueberries, & pineapple strawberries. The private, fenced backyard offers a flowering plum tree, a second covered porch, and access to the detached 2-car garage. The 18' x 19' garage includes built-in shelving, large windows, a separate electrical junction box, sewer line, and an additional 11' x 19' room, presenting intriguing potential for a two-story ADU conversion (buyer to verify feasibility).Thoughtful improvements include updated electrical wiring, double-pane tilt-out windows, newer HVAC components, upstairs carpeting, fencing, exterior paint, driveway, and sidewalk. Stainless steel appliances in kitchen and garage are included. Just moments from Historic Willamette's charming shops, restaurants, parks, primary school and Willamette & Tualatin riverfronts.
