710 N MOLALLA Ave, Molalla, OR 97038

This is more than a home, it's a legacy of Pacific Northwest history. Built in 1949 by A. Frank Lowe, a prominent Molalla lumber figure who supplied timber throughout the Pacific during WWII, this residence reflects an era when craftsmanship, material quality, and permanence were paramount.

From the moment you enter, the difference is unmistakable. The home is exceptionally square, solid, and precise. Often described as being built "like Fort Knox." Throughout, you'll find exotic hardwoods from Central and South America, intricate custom millwork, Italian marble accents, and rare Purple Heart wood detailing features that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate today.

The nearly 1,000 sq ft main living room is a true showpiece, anchored by a fireplace and wrapped in rich Carina wood, with large windows that seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living and fill the space with natural light. A fully remodeled gourmet kitchen offers a dual fuel system, oversized 5x9 granite island, and built-in appliances, designed for both everyday living and entertaining.

The layout flows from a grand foyer into formal dining, casual living, and a sunken music room. The bedroom wing provides privacy and comfort with spacious rooms, custom finishes, and thoughtfully designed separation. Bathrooms feature full tile surrounds, stone accents, and detailed woodwork.

Downstairs, the home transforms into an entertainer's dream with a full-scale ballroom, second kitchen, wine room, steam shower, and flexible gathering spaces, echoing stories of its past as a private event estate. Additional highlights include the Ponderosa Room with bar, a 1,200+ sq ft private suite above the garage, and 1.8+ acres of grounds with cherry trees, orchard space, and stone outdoor areas. Timeless, substantial, and unforgettable, this is a property that tells a story unlike any other.
