For Sale: West Seattle Painted Lady Pt. 1

“Wow!” That’s what I found myself muttering over and over when I first toured the historic Victorian Painted Lady for sale at 1603 45th Ave SW in West Seattle. This is probably the most impressive property I’ve photographed for Vintage Seattle, so I am very happy to share it. In fact, there’s so much to see that I’ve once again split this feature into two parts. For Part 1, we will consider the exterior for Part 2 concentrate on the interior. This historic West Seattle Victorian was built in 1891 and is thought to be one of the oldest homes in the area. The property is downright sprawling — with over 4,000 square feet inside and almost 10,000 square feet to the lot. Once again, it is for sale right now for $1,499,000. So if you are looking to keep up a piece of Seattle History, this is a nice opportunity. Again, be sure to check out for Part 2 of this feature where we explore more of the home’s history. I want to thank Kurt Metzger of Windermere Real Estate for taking me through the home. Well, enough of my claptrap — on with the photos. Click on the images to see full-res versions.
These are some wonderful photos, Cliffe. You really do know how to snap some great captures in a perfect atmosphere.
