409 north 8th street

Instant equity opportunity! A recent bank evaluation valued the property at $609,000. Rich with history, character and charm, this lovingly restored 1900 Victorian home blends the best of yesterday with thoughtful modern updates to last another century. Over the past few years the owners have reinforced the foundation, replaced almost all of the plumbing, electrical, and gutters, added a new roof over the primary suite, and remodeled both bathrooms as well as the kitchen while preserving period details. The main level showcases high ceilings, vintage woodwork, a sun-filled living room with Kuma wood stove, and a chef’s kitchen with stainless appliances, breakfast nook, and a colorful central island. A remodeled primary suite offers exposed beams, new closet, French doors to a brand-new back deck, and an elegant bath with double sinks and walk-in shower. Upstairs are two bedrooms, a bonus space/office and a charming bath with claw-foot tub and skylight. The detached garage has been transformed into a heated studio with loft and utility sink. Fully fenced with mature landscaping, fruit trees, raised beds and an updated sprinkler system, this quiet, private property offers classic turn-of-the-century style with all the comforts of today just minutes from downtown Cottage Grove, river paths and parks. Please note, county records shows 3 bedrooms, however, this home has 4 separate rooms that could be used as bedrooms with closets and windows. Airbnb potential with the studio space and the primary suite on the main floor! A must see property!
