This is the historic John Bouseman Riddle House, built in 1894 by Mr Riddle, the town founder and successful entrepreneur in Southern Oregon. At the time of construction, it was considered the finest home in Douglas County! There are 3 very large outbuildings, including a 20x24 detached 2 car garage, 30x45 4 car garage/shop, and an 18x45 RV garage! There is additional parking pad behind the shops and tons of parking in the driveway. The home has been extensively restored over the last 5 years and is in excellent condition inside and out. Located on nearly 1 acre, the lot is level, fenced and fully usable. The views from nearly every window and the large porches overlook the hills and pastures of the Cow Creek Valley, as well as view of Main Street from the second level. 9'-4" ceilings on the main level, 9' ceilings upstairs, 4 big bedrooms with very large closets and 1 full bath are all upstairs. The Main level has the formal parlor, large dining room, kitchen with nook, spacious den, full bath, laundry, and 8x11 Sunroom (not included in total SF). The large den on the main level has an attached bath and could be a primary bedroom (or 5th bedroom) on the Main level There is also a cement basement, 13x19 - the first cement basement in Douglas County! It is almost impossible to find a home like this that is move-in ready! The home boasts all the Queen Anne style of the era - large porches front and back, oval attic window, gingerbread trim, etc. Among the many upgrades: New HVAC system, Extensive Electrical and Plumbing Replacement, Sewer line, paint inside and out (by LBP certified painter), Original Fir floors restored, new kitchen & appliances, bathroom remodels, extensive landscaping and property clearing & fencing, and so much more. It is so difficult to find a Victorian home restored, not remodeled. Call to visit this charming, classic home today.
