About This Home

As of March 2013

John Chirnside has a reputation for creating elegant, beautiful homes. In the right location, these homes become landmarks, and this one looks out on the 7th fairway at the Grants Pass Golf Club. Built in 2003 with 2404 square feet, with 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, formal office, formal dining room, and so much more. Of course there's hardwood and tile flooring, granite counter tops, an impressive entry with oak leaf highlights, and details like the sound system, individual lighting for art peices and a safe. Finally, large windows make you feel like you're in the gallery at the golf course, and the screened porch with vaulted roof is a great place to relax on a summer evening. It's easy to get caught up in superlatives when talking about this home, but it is amazing and worth a look at this price.
