About this property

1939 Vintage House • Walk to Downtown & Linfield • Dog-Friendly • Fire Pit

Welcome to the 1939 Vintage House—where timeless charm meets modern comfort. Enjoy restored wood floors, original built-ins, and beautiful vintage details throughout. The fully fenced, dog-friendly backyard is a true highlight, featuring a covered patio and a brick outdoor fireplace. Plus a Game Room with foosball and more. Walk to McMinnville’s historic downtown, and explore chef-driven restaurants, tasting rooms, breweries, and boutique shopping—plus a short stroll to Linfield University.

Step into this beautifully restored 1939 Vintage House, originally built by a Linfield College professor and filled with timeless character. Warm and spacious, the home features restored original hardwood floors, charming built-ins, high ceilings, and a cozy fireplace, along with original chair rail, cove, and picture rail trim. Throughout the home, you’ll notice thoughtful period details, such as original 1939 brushed-copper light fixtures, original dust catchers lining the stairway, and artwork hung from the picture rail in the traditional style—creating an authentic 1939 vintage look.

Main Floor Layout: The main level features an open floor plan, high ceilings, and a spacious living room centered around a charming bay-window seating nook. The dining room is equally inviting, surrounded by original built-ins and highlighted by a classic 1939 brushed copper chandelier. The fully remodeled kitchen blends modern convenience with vintage charm, featuring a wall of windows overlooking the backyard—keeping you connected to the outdoor fun while guests gather, and grill steps away.

Bedroom & Bath Layout (Main Floor): For added comfort and privacy, the two main-floor bedrooms are located on opposite ends of the home—ideal for couples, families, or friends traveling together. The primary bedroom features a king bed, while the second bedroom offers a queen bed, with a full bathroom conveniently located between the two rooms. This bathroom also serves as the home’s main bathroom, making the layout easy and functional for everyday use.

Upstairs + Bonus Spaces: Upstairs, you’ll find a third bedroom, privately tucked away, with a second full bathroom at the top of the stairs—perfect for guests who want a little extra separation. The upstairs landing also offers a dedicated workspace with a desk, chair, and reading lamp, ideal for remote work or extended stay. Downstairs in the basement, the Game Room adds even more fun, featuring a life-size chalkboard, foosball table, and extra games/puzzles. Adjacent to the game room is the laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer for longer stays.

Backyard Living: The backyard is truly the showstopper of this home. On one side, enjoy a fully covered patio with a brick fireplace—enclosed on three sides to create a year-round open-air, outdoor space, perfect for gathering, grilling, or relaxing by the fire. On the other side of the yard, you can spread out and soak up the sun with lounge seating and unwind while you watch your pups run and play.


Traveling with a larger group? Ask about the Cowls Bungalow & Carriage House, and the Wine Country Farmhouse - all in downtown McMinnville.

Morning Coffee: Enjoy locally roasted whole bean coffee from Table Top Roasters in Yamhill. In the kitchen, there will be a drip coffee maker, coffee grinder, creamer, and sugar.

Fully Stocked Kitchen: Open the cabinets and drawers, and you'll find everything you need to whip up a quick meal or cook and bake your favorite holiday meals. The kitchen is also supplied with a spice rack, olive oil, vinegar, BBQ utensils, a meat thermometer, hot-pads, kitchen towels, and extra paper towels.

Dog Friendly: We welcome your dog, and there is plenty of room for them to roam in the fully fenced backyard. (See our dog policy, but if your situation is a little different, don't hesitate to ask management to see if we can accommodate).

Free Parking: As you pull up to the house, there is a paved parking space in front of the garage. You can also park on the street for free.

Connectivity: High-speed Wi-Fi suitable for streaming and remote work.

SmartTV: Connect to your favorite app channels, and there are 100's of live TV shows, news, movies, and music.

Upstairs Landing Workspace: The upstairs landing has a table and two chairs. There is also a larger comfy chair with a reading lamp. Upstairs, there is a WIFI extender to ensure fast connectivity at all times.

About the host

Hosted by Wine Country Properties

Host profile image
She had the Wine Country Farmhouse, and he had the Walter Link House, which is how Anita and Larry met. Well.... it was at the UFO Festival, but that's another story. The result was another vacation rental, and now another one along the way. Both are natives who grew up surrounded by the wine industry. As a kid, Anita picked grapes during harvest on one of the first vineyards in Dundee. Larry was raised on a farm in what is now the McMinnville AVA. Like Salmon, they returned after exploring the world to pursue their passion in their hometown: preserving historic properties and sharing Oregon Wine Country with the world. By joining forces - Anita's background in real estate and Larry's in construction, they have created a solid team in the growing family of Wine Country Properties.

Why they chose this property

The home sits on a quiet street, surrounded by historic homes. It's a quick walk to Linfield University and a leisurely 5 block stroll to McMinnville's Famous Third Street. On Thursdays, May through October, you'll run into the Farmer's Market on your way to Third Street.

What makes this property unique

The "1939 Vintage House" was originally built by a Linfield professor in 1939 with careful thought and architectural elegance of its era. The "1939" plaque remains as its initial period details. With its perfect location between Linfield University and McMinnville's Famous Third Street, this makes an excellent getaway for anyone who wants to explore Oregon Wine Country.
