Known locally as the area's original doctor's house, the Dr. J.H. and Georgiana McArthur House is a historic Dutch Colonial landmark with deep roots in Milwaukie. Featured in the Oak Grove/Trolley Trail historic landmark guide, the home is part of the area's early streetcar-era story. Built circa 1900 and designed by Louis E. Armstrong, it sits on a generous 0.23-acre corner lot and offers approx. 2,666 sq ft with 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, incredible character, and the kind of presence you simply cannot recreate. From the full-width front porch to the steep gambrel roofline, this is a home people notice, remember, and ask about.Inside, the main level features a welcoming entry hall with fireplace, office, living room, dining room, kitchen, full bathroom, and laundry/mudroom with direct access to the driveway. Upstairs, the second floor includes two bedrooms, a second kitchen, and a full bathroom with changing area, laundry connections, and generous storage. The third floor adds another bedroom, cozy lounge area, gas fireplace, and additional storage, creating a flexible upper-level retreat with plenty of personality.The walk-in basement and mechanical room offer even more usable space for storage, hobbies, or a possible wine cellar. Outside, the large fenced backyard, abundant parking, and detached oversized garage add everyday function to all the historic charm. For the car enthusiast or serious hobbyist, the garage includes a rare drive-over car repair pit plus lower-level storage.With MR-1/HL zoning, this property may also invite long-term possibilities for buyers interested in exploring future uses while honoring the home's historic character. Multi-unit, live/work, bed-and-breakfast, studio, office, or other historically compatible concepts may be worth researching directly with Clackamas County. Historic, memorable, flexible, and full of possibility, this is not just another Milwaukie home. It is one of the special ones.
