Mid-Century Modern Time Capsule Near Downtown!

This 1950s home is certainly more unique than most hotel rooms in Baker City. With only one owner in 71 years, the 2 bed, 1 bath vacation rental is filled with charm. All we added during the restoration phase is air conditioning, a few antique furniture gems, and mid-century modern decor for style, comfort, and a fun blast through the past. Everything else is original, including the hardwood floors which we found hidden underneath the carpet! They were quite literally, held in a time capsule!

This home is 2,334 sq ft including the basement, which is currently unfinished and houses the washer and dryer. The living room and dining area are in an open-concept type room, with the kitchen in the room over. The basement and one-car garage are accessible through the kitchen.

Both our green and blue, and blue and pink pastel, themed rooms have a queen bed and tons of classic, 1950s built-in storage. For those who need a dedicated workspace, the blue and pink room also has a beautiful, antique desk.

The yard is small but cozy; it has green grass, trees, and shrubs on a corner lot with a small deck through the sliding door. The deck has a lot of shade and can be seen from the sidewalk and neighborhood.
