1116 N Knights Bridge Rd, Canby OR | Riverfront Home for Sale

On 1.37 Acres Outside Canby, a Contemporary Built Around the Molalla River 

A 1987 custom home at 1116 N Knights Bridge Rd pairs a heated indoor pool and a wall of windows with direct access to the Molalla River, eight tenths of a mile from downtown Canby. 

Floor-to-ceiling windows run the length of the main living space at 1116 N Knights Bridge Rd, and the owners will tell you the light changes by the hour and by the season but it never really leaves the house, even on the kind of dim, wet days this region is known for. 

The property sits on 1.37 private acres with frontage on the Molalla River, and the house itself was designed so most of daily life happens on one level. Of the home's 2,908 square feet, 2,180 are on the main floor: an open-concept kitchen with quartz counters, an island, stainless steel appliances, and two refrigerators, set next to a dining area with vaulted ceilings and a living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. Wood floors run through most of the main level. 

The Primary Suite and a Renovated Bath 

The primary bedroom is also on the main floor, a 26-by-18-foot room with garden views, a private bathroom, built-in features, and its own closet. Down the main hallway, the full bathroom has been completely renovated with designer finishes: new wallpaper, a fully tiled shower and tub surround, and tile flooring. Two additional bedrooms round out the main level, one carpeted and one with wood floors. 

A Spiral Staircase, a Loft, and a Media Room 

A spiral staircase off the main level leads up to a light-filled loft, 19 by 16 feet, with hardwood floors, a ceiling fan, its own deck, and a Juliette balcony that looks out over the property's water features. It's finished space without a fixed use, the kind of room that works as a home office, a studio, or just a place to be alone with the view. Downstairs, a finished lower level holds a media room built for movie nights, with a home theater setup and sound system already in place. 

Pool, Greenhouse, and Grounds Built for Being Outside 

The home has a heated indoor pool, and attached to the house is a greenhouse the current owners describe as flexible lifestyle space, the kind of room that could just as easily be an

artist's studio, a fitness room, or a garden retreat. Outside, an elevated deck wraps around a stand of mature Douglas firs. The landscaping includes Japanese maples, a ginkgo tree, an assortment of conifers, and several water features, along with raised garden beds and a poultry coop. There's also a sprinkler system for the grounds, an extra-wide detached two-car garage, and RV parking. The property carries no HOA. 

Life on the River 

For the current owners, the pull of this property has always been the balance of privacy and proximity. Downtown Canby is eight tenths of a mile away, close enough that they've walked in for dinner or to run errands without needing the car. At the same time, the Molalla River frontage has meant they can float, kayak, or paddleboard right from their own property. It's the kind of setup that's genuinely hard to find this close to town: acreage and river access on one side, sidewalks and storefronts on the other.
