37122 NE CLARA SMITH RD

Built in 1939 and beautifully restored, this exceptional home honors its historic roots while offering modern comfort and efficiency. Nestled on a full acre in the Columbia River Gorge, it's a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful updates. Original materials were carefully salvaged and repurposed throughout. Framing lumber from the original structure now forms custom doors, stair rails, wall paneling, and a built-in mantle. The original Douglas Fir floors were removed, restored, and reinstalled. Even the beadboard walls found new purpose as roof decking beneath newly added eaves and overhangs. The stone chimney features rocks sourced from the Sandy River and Mt. Hood. In the kitchen, reclaimed maple flooring from an OHSU gym adds character, while the bedrooms showcase beautiful clear vertical grain Douglas Fir. Barrel-vaulted ceilings, custom millwork, and handcrafted details throughout reflect the home's deep connection to quality and tradition. Extensive updates include a new septic system (2010), all new electrical and plumbing, high-efficiency LP furnace (main level), high-efficiency heat pump (upper level), cement fiber siding, architectural shingle roofing, red cedar gable shingles, and composite exterior trim for low maintenance. A large detached garage with finished living quarters above offers flexible space for guests, work, or endless potential. Located in Corbett--one of Oregon's most scenic areas--you'll enjoy peaceful country living with easy access to I-84, hiking, biking, river activities, and breathtaking Gorge views. This is more than a home--it's a carefully crafted legacy.
