1920s Parsonage Retreat - Gardens & Creative Charm

Stay in a historic parsonage built in the 1920s, part of a larger church compound once featured on HGTV’s Extreme Homes and in Oregon Home Magazine. This 1-bedroom, 1-bath daylight basement apartment blends vintage character with creative style, incorporating museum-quality Moroccan doors and windows throughout.

Inside, antique furnishings, curated décor, and a full kitchen make the space both functional and inspiring. The cozy living room includes an additional full bed in a sectioned-off area, giving flexibility for couples, solo travelers, or creative retreats. It also features a huge bathroom with a clawfoot tub.

Step outside to enjoy the gardens, a gazebo with twinkling lights, and fountains and statues that create a whimsical atmosphere.

Located in Milwaukie’s Ardenwald neighborhood, the parsonage offers a serene home base just minutes from walking trails, public transit, and Downtown Portland’s cultural attractions.
