Own a little piece of yesteryear with the "McCormick House", a Foursquare Bungalow, circa 1900, & on the City of Hillsboro's Historic Registry. This treasure is a "standout" home on the block, complete with an award-winning detached 2-story oversized double car garage, w/half bath & boundless potential. The 750 sf. upper garage level has 14 windows to bring in the natural light, perfect for a great art studio or recreation use. Enter at the home's grand steps & sit awhile on the porch swing to feel the sense of a slower, reflective time. Yet, feel pampered in the completely refinished upstairs primary bed/bath w/comfortable upgraded R20 insulation, skylites, minisplit, dbl vanities & heater towel rack! Parquet floors in the living/dining area lend focus to the front room bay window & wood-burning wood stove & built-in bookcases. Original pine floors are in the main level 2nd & 3rd bedrooms, while hand hewn hickory wood floors spruce up the kitchen. It's a Chef's dream for a restaurant inspired "Imperial" gas-operated stove for gourmet meals at any time, complete w/pot hanger & a huge walk-in pantry off the kitchen just waiting for the next large gathering. Refrigerator & dishwasher are also included. The partially finished basement has a surprise wine cellar you won't want to miss, a place to enjoy the pinot and cabernet grapes that drape over the pergola, when you harvest the backyard crop. You'll catch a glimpse of historic Hillsboro with nostaglic photos, as part of the charm, in the cellar. And storage abounds around the 2 tub laundry sink area & large, dry, insulated crawlspace. Showcase upgrades include new electrical panel, new meter, newer sewer line, 3 rain barrels & rain chains to water your raised garden beds, grass, grapes & rose bushes! A small 12x12 shed toward the rear of the property is perfect for a playhouse or gardening tools. Prime location to walk downtown Hillsboro, enjoy the markets, great restaurants, bakeries & breweries. [Home Energy Score = 1. HES Report at
