About This Home
As of August 2024This storied Willamette Heights home was built for the 1905 Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition to showcase the NW Spanish Renaissance style. Shortly thereafter, it was transported by mule team to its current location. The home has long been known as the "Wedding Cake House" due to its unique cake topper look, accentuated by columns, frosted scrolls, creamy white color and candle sconces. Great efforts have been made to preserve the craftsmanship & charm, while updating the homes electrical, mechanical & plumbing systems. Sitting on the Willamette Heights hillside, numerous rooms offer peek-a-boo views of the city, river & mountain & spectacular sunrises. With few exceptions, the exterior of the home has remained the same. Plumbing, mechanical & electrical updates include PEX water lines, 200-amp electrical service & natural gas piping servicing the tankless water heater, 3-zone forced air heating furnace, wolf kitchen stove & outdoor BBQ. The interior has been updated while keeping original stained glass, door knobs, pocket doors & wood floors, to name a few. The renovated kitchen looks out to the private backyard thru Marvin windows & doors, includes high end appliances, floor to ceiling wood cabinets, farmhouse sink & soap stone counter tops. The upper bath renovation has similar charm & character of the kitchen and includes both a claw foot tub & a separate walk-in shower. A yard drainage system has enabled a fully functional and useable basement. The basement connects to the one car garage via an underground tunnel! Schematic of proposed elevator access from Street Level available. Professionally landscaped yard with particular attention made to create a private, tranquil back yard get away. Highlights include a red volcanic rock wall, period railing for the front steps, outdoor lighting, Brazilian hardwood decks, irrigation & a historical iron fence & gate from a Seattle hotel. 2 Blks to Forest Park, 10 Blks to NW 23rd amenities.
