The current housing market may be slow, but there are still a number of interesting vintage properties on the market. This past weekend Anna and I packed up the gear and took a walk through the now-selling 1415 East Marion. The home was built in 1900, boasts 4 bed, 2.5 bath, nearly 4000 square feet, and is going for $849,000. The listing states the property is in Capitol Hill, but it’s actually not (boy do those listing agents blur the neighborhood lines or what?). Let’s move right onto the photos. Click on the images for full resolution. By the way, I just installed Photoshop CS3 and I love the new Adobe RAW features. If you’re into HDR photography, give it a look.

Establishing shot of the home from the curb.	Moving closer to the front entry.
The driveway leads along the east side of the home toward the detached garage.	The back of the home where you can see the addition.
Close-up of a pillar support on the front porch.	The front entryway into the home. The hardwood floors are new on the first floor.
The dining room area, to the left is the kitchen, while straight ahead is the “mother-in-law” addition.	The living room is along the front of the house. Like many century old floor plans, the rooms are very chopped up.
This area on the back end of the house was not part of the original home. It is now used as a guest suite.	The bathroom of the guest suite has this oddly placed claw foot tub embedded into the floor.
Light fixtures in the property are impressive.	Close-up of the first floor hardwood floors and skirting board.
A view of the kitchen. Note the painted cabinets and 1970’s era tile (tacky or unique depending on your POV).	Heading up the stairs leads you to this master bedroom.
Also on the second floor is this well lit sun room. Notice the painted hardwood floors.	French doors from the sun room lead to this large porch with view.
Most of the woodwork in the home is original and has been restored.	Zooming in on the tile from the kitchen counter. The look is sure to polarize.
A view from the top of the stairs. On the left is the sun room and straight ahead is the master bathroom.	The master bathroom, complete with one of my favorites — hex tile.
Close-up of the tile work in the bathroom.	On the outside of the home you’ll find this old coal chute.
