Property Description

Rarely does a Corvallis home offer this blend of architectural presence, contemporary lifestyle and central location. Gracious proportions, abundant light, refined original details and established gardens create a sense of quality and privacy just blocks from downtown, Oregon State University, parks, restaurants and cultural amenities. Thoughtful updates enhance comfort while preserving character. The 1916 Fischer House, a distinguished Colonial Revival built by Henry Fischer of the historic Fischer Flour Mill, reflects enduring early 20th-century craftsmanship. The 2,530-square-foot main residence is complemented by a detached cottage and a 1,272-square-foot full lower level, providing exceptional flexibility.Nine-foot ceilings, quarter-sawn oak floors, original millwork, crown molding, period hardware and original lighting preserve its architectural integrity, while two wood-burning fireplaces add warmth. The updated cook’s kitchen pairs heritage with function through stainless-steel appliances, solid-surface and butcher-block counters, an island, stained-glass accents and a built-in breakfast nook. Three spacious bedrooms each offer a walk-in closet, an uncommon feature for a home of this era. Two flexible offices accommodate work, study or creative pursuits. A spacious bathroom opens to a private morning balcony, and the screened porch connects directly to mature gardens with raised beds, native plantings, a water feature, dining patio and secluded outdoor spaces. The detached cottage includes a kitchenette and full bath for guests, office, studio or other permitted uses. The lower level includes a wine cellar, workshop, art studio, laundry, pantry and extensive storage. Thoughtfully updated and carefully maintained, the Fischer House combines historic integrity, modern livability, adaptable spaces, garden privacy, a detached cottage and a central Corvallis location.
