Property Description

Tucked into the heart of Athena, this iconic home blends storybook charm with grand scale. Known locally as the “Gingerbread House”, this one-of-a-kind residence offers just over 6,000 square feet of living space, featuring 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, built in 1927 as the M.L. Watts House. From the moment you arrive, the home's distinctive architecture captures your attention. A rare cedar shingle roof, crafted with a whimsical, cottage-inspired design, pairs beautifully with the timeless brick exterior—creating a look that feels both historic and unforgettable. Inside, the expansive layout offers room to spread out, entertain, or reimagine the space to fit your vision. Outside, the grounds unfold into a private, garden-rich retreat. A detached garage/shop provides excellent space for projects, storage, or hobbies, while the greenhouse and large gardening area invite you to cultivate your own slice of Oregon soil. Warmer days are made for enjoying the above-ground pool or relaxing beneath the covered gazebo, creating a setting that feels leisurely and peaceful. Lining the streets, mature sycamore trees cast a shifting canopy of shade throughout the day, giving the property a calm, sheltered feel and adding to its timeless presence. Rich in character and local lore, this property stands as one of Athena's most recognizable homes. Whether you're drawn to its architectural significance, generous square footage, or the opportunity to own a true landmark, this residence offers a rare chance to step into a piece of Eastern Oregon history.
