- Remarks:
- From its iconic wrap-around porch to the grand staircase and original millwork, the main home is filled with preserved craftsmanship and character. Elegant built-ins, a wood-burning fireplace, and intricate detailing speak to its heritage, while thoughtful updates enhance comfort and function. The gourmet kitchen is a true showpiece, featuring a dramatic island crafted from an 1876 piano—where history becomes art.Designed for flexibility, the home lives beautifully as a single-family estate or multi-generational residence, with potential for rental income. Two clawfoot soaking tubs, generous storage, and updated systems ensure everyday ease.A fully ADA-compliant attached carriage house ADU expands possibilities, offering its own entrance, elevator, kitchen, two bedrooms, and accessible bath—ideal for guests, extended living, or income.The entire property has been fully re-plumbed and re-wired, and includes CAT 6 (10GBPS) infrastructure for modern connectivity.Outside, the grounds feel like a private sanctuary—lush lawns, fruit trees, grape arbor, gardens, bee-friendly plantings, chicken coop, matching shed, and a newer 10-person saltwater hot tub. Irrigation keeps everything effortless.Walk to historic downtown Forest Grove, parks, and trails, with wine country and city access nearby.The IL Smith House is more than a home—it is a living legacy ready for its next steward.
