Love this home?
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.

Venkat is a very good negotiator. He was quick to respond, when I had questions. He came to all the meetings with the seller and provided valuable inputs on inspections and mortgage options. Overall, I was impressed and would love to work with him again.
— Jagathishp
Venkat is very professional and has tremendous knowledge in the real estate industry. He was always available to discuss and made time to visit the construction site several times during the course. I was looking at a new construction and had to wait for the property to be built.
— Vignesh Chan
Muthu has good knowledge about the community and understands the needs of his customers. He helped us sell our house in record time and followed up with the buyer and the agent until the complete closure. We received multiple offers and Muthu negotiated well and helped us decide on the buyer.
— Praveen
Venkat Muthu is a wonderful person to go with. Very friendly and advices as per the need and gives his service and support where and when needed and some times going beyond. Really happy to share the review and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for any homes.
— Alishetty
Venkat is great to work with as realtor. He is very patient and listens to the requests of the buyer or seller and doesn’t push as t any point of time. He has a good understanding of the market situation and location for investments as well. All this comes from experience with him recently buying a home.
