Chiming in late, of course, but isn’t this the house (or a neighbor of the house) that Ann Wilson of Heart owned for a while?

This mansion is so pretty… I loved the way it’s maintained and its finishing…

Finding the location was easy. However since this post was over a year ago, how’s the renovation coming? Still going, sold, etc?

Really a neat old house. I was able to figure out the exact location, but I ain’t sayin!

We’re planning a quick trip to Seattle next summer (’10) Does anyone know if this home will be open for tours, etc?

Any other cool homes we ‘must see’? I’m an architecture buff

I have loved this house for years now and I am so glad that there is finally someone to renovate it and continue to love this beautiful home again! When I go on my walks I get to see the backside of this home from Interlaken… Thank you so much for the pictures!

I showed this house to 2 sets of buyers in ’90 or ’91. It was awesome, although in need of considerable work even then.

I recall that the bowling alley was still partially intact. On the same lower floor were some truly Victorian-level servant quarters; very dark and dingy.

Two things I heard at the time, both of which may well be apocryphal :

1. The residence was owned or occupied at one time early on by a follower of Aâˆ´Aâˆ´, one of Aleister Crowleys magic orders. During this time some large & debauched Hellfire Club style gatherings took place there, involving some old Seattle families who would still be horrified to have this information come out.

2. To the south of the house there were the remains of some very overgrown elaborate gardens. Scuttlebutt was that they were private Olmstead gardens designed and put in at the same time as Volunteer Park.
