716 4th Ave Oregon City, OR 97045

Nature and history align in one of Oregon City’s most treasured and least known places. This charming hillside home is located on the corner of one of the most scenic streets within all historic Canemah; a hidden gem whose name comes from the Chinookan phrase for “the canoe place”. Cherished for its pastoral feel and protected from modern overdevelopment, this unique neighborhood offers a rare sense of space and history just minutes from the heart of town. Natural surroundings and low-density streets dotted with turn-of-the-century properties make this a truly sought after place, where it’s easy to feel right at home! Main level living with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a bonus room, ample parking, and various updates throughout, this modest, yet charming 'ranchalow' truly offers that rare combination of setting, character, and value.Enjoy tending to your homestead, with your own vegetable garden in the side yard, and Bunny Creek flowing (in accordance with the season) out back. Sit on your front step and take in the peaceful surroundings, listen for the occasional train whistle in the distance, and peek between the branches of the trees out front for seasonal glimpses of the mighty Willamette below.All this less than 500 feet from Canemah Bluff & Children’s Park, featuring a playground, nature trails, and territorial views for miles! And if you’re in the mood for a bit of entertainment, just head just one mile down to Oregon City’s award-winning Main Street, where you’ll find local shops, dining, and cafes. Convenient access to I-205, Hwy 99, the bridge into West Linn, and the future ‘Tumwata Village’ that’s slated to include restaurants, retail, a riverwalk, educational, and cultural projects. All this and more, just 25 minutes to central PDX. Simply put, this charming town and country home could possibly be the find of the season at this price, so come have a look today!
