About This Home

*OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY 5/9 FROM 12-2* Opportunities to own something truly one-of-a-kind don’t come around often. Introducing one of Roseburg’s most iconic residences: the 1875 Historic John Rast House, restored in 2020 and rich with preserved character. Ideally situated in the heart of Roseburg, just minutes from downtown, local dining, and convenient access to I-5, Hwy 42, and Hwy 138, this timeless property offers exceptional versatility for a variety of buyers and uses. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it also benefits from a property tax abatement. Set on .38 acres of meticulously landscaped grounds, the Gothic Revival home welcomes you with striking architectural details-covered porches, balconies, steep gables, and ornate features. The fully fenced property includes a gated entry, expansive driveway/parking, and RV/EV accommodations. Inside, historic charm is preserved, from crown molding to original hardwood floors and period fixtures. A spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace and abundant natural light, flows into an inviting living room with cedar paneling. The formal dining room features built-ins and generous space for hosting, while the kitchen blends vintage character with modern convenience. Upstairs, you’ll find three large bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a den currently showcasing historical pieces from the Rast family. A detached ADU offers excellent potential for guests, extended living, or rental income. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the back deck or unwind beneath the covered gazebo, surrounded by mature landscaping, and multiple storage sheds. The 2020 restoration included a new foundation, roof, gutters, electrical, plumbing, insulation, paint, and HVAC mini-splits. The C3 zoning allows for a wide range of uses including business, investment, or primary residency. Some homes await you to write their story. This home invites you to share in a story woven throughout centuries and brought to life by restoration and care.
