About This Home

Built in 1924, this charming Longview home is filled with the character and craftsmanship that buyers rarely find today. Original hardwood floors, graceful arched entryways, and vintage glass doorknobs create a warm, welcoming atmosphere that reflects the home's rich history and timeless appeal. Inside, the flexible layout offers multiple bedroom spaces to accommodate changing needs. County records identify the home as a 2-bedroom, 1-bath property, while the current configuration provides three non-conforming bedroom spaces, creating opportunities for guests, remote work, hobbies, or additional living space. Outside, the story continues. Set on a generously sized lot, the property features a fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to garden, gather, play, or simply relax. Alley access leads to covered carport parking, while a detached tool shed and additional outbuilding provide valuable space for storage, projects, gardening equipment, or a workshop. Modern updates, including vinyl windows and a roof that's approximately seven years old, offer added peace of mind while preserving the home's original character. Ideally located just off Nichols Boulevard and moments from Lake Sacajawea, you'll be close to one of Longview's most cherished landmarks, with miles of walking paths, beautiful scenery, community events, and outdoor recreation right nearby. Character. Charm. Space to grow. This is the kind of home that feels special the moment you walk through the door.
