This spotless house is just three blocks from the river, the park, and charming downtown Independence. Come stay here, for wine country tourism, university visits, weddings, biking, or just enjoy one of Oregon's most beautiful regions. Independence has a lovely small town feel with many amenities, like open air markets, festivals, craft breweries and a gourmet grocery.. This is a 1950 ranch on a half acre lot. All of the floors except the bathroom are real wood. The rooms are spacious for a modest house, and the layout is ideal. We have one TV with a fire stick, and very fast wifi. The whole place is yours to enjoy. I know my neighbors well and I want to make sure you know that no parties or event with more than 8 people may be held here without my express consent. I live in Portland but my designated representative and cleaner lives next door. We can take care of any problem you might have This is a neighborhood of turn-of-the-century homes and churches. It's a three block walk to Main Street with its wine bars, pubs, restaurants and shops, right across from the riverfront park. Our street is quiet, with very little traffic, BUT very infrequently a freight train passes by on the bridge behind the house. It's Willamette Valley Railroad and they only have two locomotives. I can't find what the schedule is but I've stayed there a lot and it's not frequent. Once in a while there's on in the early morning hours. Walk to downtown independence and enjoy 3-4 free parking spots on the driveway and gravel pad or use the single car garage. The street is very quiet and mostly free of traffic, but an occasional locomotive passes on the bridge behind the house. Sometimes there's one in the early am hours. They are infrequent.
