Property Description

Built ahead of its time in 1957 and well cared for by one family since, this NW Corvallis corner-lot home blends mid-century charm with real flexibility. Wood floors, a gas fireplace, and retro pull-down shades set the mood. Step through one of two sliders onto wood decking wrapping a private, fenced backyard under mature trees. A sunlit, vaulted bonus room with two separate entrances offers a studio, office, or guest suite. A rare find in this walkable, tree-lined pocket. One family has called this Northwest Corvallis corner-lot home theirs since it was built in 1957, and nearly seventy years of holidays, celebrations, and everyday life show up in the details rather than a remodel.Step in through the entry foyer, where a skylight floods the front door with natural light, and the wood floors, brick-surround gas fireplace, and retro pull-down shades on the windows tell you right away this is the real thing, largely original and well cared for, not a look someone recreated. The kitchen and dining area open through a slider onto wood decking that wraps the backyard, a private, fenced space shaded by mature trees, with cedar siding covering the home. The real peace of mind is under the surface: a 2024 Trane furnace and A/C, a 2024 water heater, and a full bath with a Hydromax jetted tub, the kind of systems buyers of a 1957 home hope for but rarely find already done.Then there is the bonus room: sunlit, vaulted, about 18 by 24 feet, with two separate entrances of its own apart from the main house. This is where the family gathered for holidays and celebrations for generations, and it is easy to see why once you are standing in it. Today it is ready to become whatever the next owner needs, a home office, a studio, a guest wing, multigenerational living, with loads of built-in storage and closets to back it up.The corner lot itself adds extra yard and separation from neighbors on two sides, plus a curb presence you do not get on a standard interior lot. This is a quiet, tree-lined corner in one of Northwest Corvallis's more desirable in-town pockets, close to the co-op and a short distance from Oregon State University, low-traffic but never far from campus or downtown. Original character, real generational history, and true flexible space rarely come together like this. Homes this well loved for this long do not come around often, and this one is ready for its next chapter.
