Property Description
|
|
|
This historical Forest Grove home was built in 1912. It was purchased by Dr. Ros Waltz and his family in the 1930's where he raised his children and saw patients. The lovely home and gardens where showcased in many social events during that era. The home was purchased by the current owner in 1980.
The home has an inviting spacious front porch flanked by two lion statues welcoming you home. The original mahogany front door has detailed engraving and iron peep window. The living room has a large stone fireplace and wood floors under the carpet. According to a book written by Eva Waltz, oak floors were laid over the original fir floors in the early 1930's.The formal dining room has French doors opening to a deck overlooking the garden. The kitchen has been remodeled a few times, and has an eating bar in front of a picture window taking advantage of the beautiful gardens. The main floor has two bedrooms and a full bath with tub and separate shower. The door to the bath has a beautiful obscure glass door. One of the bedrooms on the main level has a pass-through window and built-in cupboards where Dr. Waltz practiced medicine.
The spacious upper level has a full bath, the master bedroom with two walk-in closets, the front bedroom, and another spacious bedroom with walk-in closet. There is a secret storage room large enough for a bed through a small door in the bathroom.
The basement has a room set up as a summer bedroom, and a workshop with a large bench, shelves and cupboards for tools and supplies. There is a bonus room large enough for a pool table, a utility area with a sink and dishwasher, a storage room, and a full-size pantry. There are also several storage closets, and the furnace room with the new 95% efficient gas furnace. There is an outside entrance from the garage leading to the breezeway connecting the house and the garage. The house has many newer vinyl windows, and a new roof.
The double garage has a huge pull-down staircase leading to attic storage. The garage is supplied with 220 electrical. Parking in the driveway will accommodate of 40' RV.
The gardens are brimming with history. The pergola and outdoor brick fireplace was built by the Waltz family. The adjoining 50'x60' lot has a large garden shed and a greenhouse. This is a great space for a garden. Mrs. Waltz had dreams of constructing a tennis court here.
The possibilities for this home are endless. How about growing your own fruit, vegetables and flowers and selling them at the street? How about a bed and breakfast? A restaurant? Office space? Or, just moving in your large family and carrying on the history of the "C" Street House ...
