For Sale: Historic First Hill Painted Lady
November 5th, 2007 @ 2:43 am by Cliffe | Sorted Historic Buildings |
A few weeks ago I noticed that one of the older Victorian homes on First Hill surrounded by medical buildings was for sale. If you regularly travel Pill Hill you probably have seen the striking color scheme at the corner of Boren and Columbia. Over the weekend, Wendy Lister and Nicole Carr showed me around this property at 1023 Columbia Street and th is one is a stunner. At a sale price of a cool $2.86 million, this is not an ordinary piece of real estate. The home was built in 1888 and features 3,800 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 bath, and 3 fireplaces. It is currently used as a law office and home for its owner. According to the listing, “the owner and the designer worked together to create a perfect nine color dimension; it was a two year color coding and painting process with exacting precision and historical references.” This kind of attention to detail can be seen throughout the whole property. Have a look for yourself and see what I mean. Click on the thumbnails for larger views. Once again, thanks to Wendy Lister and Nicole Carr for giving me access to the property. If you are interested, please view the listing here for more information.
Green, my favorite color! You shouldn’t have. Now if I can only get a job that covers a whopping three million dollar mortgage.
Gorgeous, gorgeous inside, btw.
Beautiful. Is it undergoing landmark review? It’d be a shame to have it come down.
No garage?
Pass.
TB expects a garage??? True, Karl Benz invented the first practical automobile in 1885, but one wouldn’t/shouldn’t expect to see a garage on a Victorian house.
Hah. I have to agree. Expecting a garage on a house like this is rather ridiculous.
