1638 Birch St, Forest Grove, OR 97116

Built in 1920, this cottage carries a special kind of character: fir floors, original windows, arched doorways, and rooms shaped with intention. Thoughtful updates, including an on-demand water heater and mini-split heating and cooling, bring ease to the everyday. The main level unfolds through a series of connected spaces: living room with classic wood stove, formal dining room, breakfast nook, family room, kitchen with pantry and custom tilework plus, a main-level primary bedroom and attached, oversize one car garage. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms and a flexible landing create room for guests, work, or retreat. Out back, an expansive yard opens wide with space to garden, gather, and watch the seasons. Some homes impress at first glance, others stay with you for years, then call you back. A short stroll to Pacific University, coffee, restuarants and trails.
