Set on a sunny corner lot in the heart of Dufur, Oregon, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 2,552 sq ft of historic character, thoughtful updates, and sweeping views of Mt. Hood and the surrounding high-desert landscape. Inside, 11.5-foot ceilings, original wood floors, and expansive windows create a light-filled, airy feel throughout. Modern upgrades include updated plumbing and electrical, high-efficiency Fibrex by Andersen windows, and energy-efficient mini splits. These improvements bring comfort and efficiency while preserving the home’s original integrity. The outdoor spaces reflect the pace and practicality of small-town living, with a fenced yard, covered patio, raised garden beds, chicken coop, garden shed, and original ice cellar. This is a rare combination of function and heritage. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience. Built in 1862 by William Heisler, one of Dufur’s earliest settlers, this is one of the town’s oldest surviving homes. It has been carefully maintained for over 160 years and remains deeply rooted in the history of the area. What sets this property apart is its connection to Dufur itself, a close-knit, character-rich town where life moves a little slower and community still matters. Walk to local cafs, markets, and seasonal events, and experience a lifestyle shaped by open skies and a strong sense of place. With easy access to The Dalles, the Columbia River Gorge, Mt. Hood recreation, and the Deschutes River, this location offers both quiet retreat and proximity to some of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic landscapes. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Oregon history, set in one of the Columbia Gorge’s most authentic and quietly compelling communities.
