One of the oldest homes in Southern Oregon, the Henry Klippel house has held just four families in its 160 years. Lovingly renovated by builder Roger Whipple in the 80s, the house boasts four spacious bedrooms, gorgeous woodwork and cabinetry, airy ten-foot ceilings, plus original plank flooring, 6-over-6 windows, antique light fixtures and brick fireplace sheltered under a new cedar shingle roof. Set on a spacious .27 acre lot just three blocks from downtown J'ville, the property has a separate two-story cottage full of charming Craftsman details (and a wood stove), as well as a detached two car garage ripe for more creative uses. The Beekman Trail is one block west; Jacksonville Elementary is five blocks east; on a summer night, music from the Britt drifts down on the breeze. A perfect home for romantic souls who enjoy feeling the past alive in the present (with perhaps a ghost in the closet for company). Choose this piece of history as a forever home or as an investment opportunity
