About This Home
Perched 36 steps above charming Harris Street, this one-of-a-kind property greets you with sweeping views of Ketchikan Creek and its famous salmon ladder. Bring your vision--and a tool belt--because this estate-sale offering is every contractor's challenge ... and opportunity.Inside the main home, an unfinished, free-spirited floor plan meanders from roomroom, waiting for someone to define its spaces and polish its potential. Across a covered breezeway sits an attached six-bedroom, six-bath wingan ideal setup for a future VRBO or other short-term rental income once renovations are complete. Picture guests sipping coffee on decks that overlook the creek while salmon leap below.
At present, the property still holds personal belongings from the late owner, and considerable cleanup and finish work will be required before traditional financing is possible. Cash or construction-loan buyers with imagination will appreciate the upside here: panoramic water views, walk-to-town convenience, and rare multi-suite capacity in Ketchikan's tight lodging market.
