Freshly varnished woodwork, updated wood-laminate flooring, tall windows with ornate wood trim, solid doors and pocket doors, a curved staircase and an enclosed courtyard deck are just some of the highlights to this two-story home in the Oregon District of Dayton.

Listed for $299,900 by Kamela and Company Realty, the brick Victorian home at 324 Jones St. has about 2,300 square feet of living space.

The property, located on a cul-de-sac with alley access, includes two buildings. One is the historical home while the other detached building was a former business with about 3,100 square feet of space, plus a garage and awning-covered concrete parking pad.

The residence has a covered front porch with two separate entrances. The formal entry opens into a foyer with wood laminate flooring and an open curved staircase. To the right is the family room with tall windows that have oversized ornate woodwork. A wood-burning fireplace has tortoiseshell ceramic surround and an ornate wood mantel.

To the left are two separate entrances to the formal living room and dining room. A double pocket door is between the two rooms. The living room opens to the rear deck and has access to the kitchen as does the dining room. A china closet is within the dining room.

The kitchen has white wainscoting, a double sink below a window, and ceramic tile countertops on white cabinets. There is a door that opens to a back staircase and another that opens to a pantry closet with cellar-door basement access.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bathroom. All three bedrooms have ceiling paddle fans, transom windows above the doors and oversized closets. One bedroom has a decorative mantel. A possible fourth bedroom is off a hallway from the main bedroom. This room has a window, but the closet is across the hallway.

The full bathroom features a tub/shower and single-sink vanity. The hallway ends at the back staircase.

A door off the kitchen opens to the enclosed deck with a hot tub and canvas awning covering. Just off the deck is a perennial garden and double cellar-doors that open to the basement which has glass block windows, storage and has the mechanical systems.

The second building is a two-story cinder-block with three large rooms and a small bonus room on the main level. The second level is divided into a workshop space with a half bath and a large storage room with exterior doors.

A side door off one of the main office spaces opens out to a parking pad that is enclosed with fencing and canvas. There is also an overhead door that opens to an oversized, one-car garage with alley access.
