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

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create a perfect nine color dimension; it was a two year color coding and painting process with exacting precision and historical references.”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.

This 1888 Seattle home is a Second Empire Style landmark, in an area where most homes from this era are long gone. According to Historic Seattle, the residence was moved from the corner of Boren and Cherry years ago to save it from demolition. A view of the West face of the home. Wood shingle siding with precise color coding dominates all sides of the residence.

The floor-to-ceiling windows on the first story feature hoods above them on the East side of the structure. Also notice the French Curb bracketed cornice. The back face of the building highlights the signature Second Empire mansard roof with patterned slate tile. This type of roof enables a living space in the top floor rather than wasted attic space.

A view of the bathroom on the first floor. As you can see, the interior has mostly modern touches. The entryway just as you enter the home. A living room is off to the left and the kitchen to the far end.

The basement area is quite cavernous. Each floor, even the top “attic” sp ace, h as a bathroom. The living room on the first floor of the home. The floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interior in light.

The basement also features a library/workout room enabling you to read while you exercise. Not an 1888 notion. Another living area with woodworking and fireplace. This is one of the three fireplaces in the home.

    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.
