1810 Pacific Ave, Forest Grove, OR 97116
What's special
Known historically as The Via Home, this remarkable 1928 residence stands as one of Forest Grove’s true architectural treasures. Designed in the rare Norman Farmhouse style—the only known example in the city—it offers more than 4,000 square feet of beautifully preserved living space on an expansive .66-acre lot. Extraordinary craftsmanship is showcased throughout, including elaborate gum-maple woodwork milled from trees once growing on the property, creating a unique and enduring connection to the land. A striking oak front door with a beveled glass lunette window sets the tone for the artistry found inside, while the home’s single fireplace, adorned with Portuguese tile, serves as a stunning focal point in the main living area. Anchoring the northwest corner of the grounds is the largest Giant Sequoia in Oregon, planted in the 1860s by John Porter for then-owner Dr. Bowlby—an awe-inspiring living landmark that enriches the property’s historic significance. The expansive three-bay garage is a standout feature for the car enthusiast, offering generous vehicle space plus a dedicated shop in the third bay. Two additional residences add exceptional versatility: a private apartment above the garage and a charming 1959 cottage, both ideal for rental income, guest accommodations, or multigenerational living. A large heated workshop/studio with a private entrance provides even more flexibility for creative pursuits, a home business, or additional income potential. With 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, expansive living spaces, multiple dwelling options, and valuable TCT zoning that supports business opportunities, The Via Home is a rare blend of architectural beauty, historic importance, and modern livability.
