About 736 N Alvord Ave
Eastern Oregon Home - Historical Property - Built in 1913 and known locally as the Dr. Geary House, this wonderful Burns residence offers 3,564± square feet of living space filled with historic character and craftsmanship. Refinished original wood floors, high ceilings, 1930s wallpaper, stained- and leaded-glass windows, built-in cabinetry, and beautiful period light fixtures preserve the home’s timeless appeal. The wide wooden staircase, spacious upstairs landing, enclosed front and side porches, and original stone foundation and porch accents further showcase the distinctive details of this one-of-a-kind property.The home’s interior has been thoughtfully refreshed while retaining the features that make it special. Both bathrooms have been recently updated, including blue pine accents in the upstairs bathroom, while the living room features a propane fireplace with custom blue pine details. Three spacious upstairs bedrooms, multiple walk-in closets, a family room, clean and dry basement, and numerous built-in storage areas provide exceptional functionality. Outside, mature trees, original stone flower planters, fenced yard areas, a 720± square-foot garage/shop, wagon shed with potential office or craft space, and covered vehicle parking add even greater versatility.Prospective buyers should anticipate completing some important exterior maintenance to help preserve the property for years to come. The wood siding needs to be painted, and although the existing wood-shake roof is not currently leaking, it will likely require replacement. These improvements offer an opportunity for the next owner to protect and enhance a truly distinctive historic home while enjoying its generous living space, preserved architectural details, and convenient in-town location.
