Once upon a time, in the heart of Forest Grove, there stood a graceful old home where weary travelers would rest on their long journey from Portland to the coastal town of Tillamook. Known throughout town as the Old Stagecoach Stop, this beloved Folk Victorian offered comfort and shelter beneath its steep gables and wide porch, quietly gathering the stories of those who passed through. Later, its halls filled with the footsteps of young scholars from the Tualatin Academy, now Pacific University, as it became a place of study, dreams, and quiet reflection. Today, the Blank House still stands proudly, its history etched into every board and window frame, and it remains listed on both the local and national historic registries. Inside, over 2300 square feet of living space holds four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a blend of original craftsmanship and thoughtful updates. Nineteen new Andersen windows, designed to reflect the home’s heritage, fill the rooms with natural light. The kitchen, with its large island and generous pantry, invites creativity and gathering. New PEX plumbing, upgraded electrical, improved HVAC, and a reimagined laundry space offer comfort without compromising charm. Outdoors, the story continues in a private backyard with apple trees, berries, raised beds, and five newly planted trees. A cedar fence with a French-style gate surrounds the yard, where a paver patio and large concrete pad await games, gardens, or gatherings. The custom-built pad is ideal for an above-ground pool or sport court. The detached carriage house offers space for two vehicles and room for tools or dreams. Just blocks from downtown and Pacific University, with easy access to Hillsboro and Portland—plus TCT zoning that allows for many commercial or mixed-use opportunities and Short Term Rental are allows—this is more than a home… it’s an all-around great investment! The next chapter of Oregon’s story waiting for its next narrator.
