On the coveted west side of Hood River, tucked onto 2.2 private acres, sits a rare piece of Gorge history waiting for its next chapter.

Through the trees, you’ll catch glimpses of both Mount Adams and Mount Hood — iconic views that remind you daily why living in the Columbia River Gorge is so special. The setting alone is extraordinary: level acreage, mature trees, privacy, and the soothing sound of water nearby.Inside, the home still holds so much of its original soul. Tall ceilings, generous room sizes, oversized windows that flood the interiors with natural light, and large closets — uncommon for a home of this era — speak to the thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship of its time. The structure appears remarkably solid and straight, offering a strong foundation for the extensive cosmetic and systems updates it will require.This is not a light refresh. It needs vision, investment, and care. But for the right steward, the reward could be exceptional: restoring intricate trim, refinishing original details, blending period charm with modern amenities, and bringing this historic beauty back to life.The third floor offers flexible space with caretaker’s quarters complete with a kitchenette and bathroom — ideal for guests, multi-generational living, creative studio space, or potential rental income. From here, the views of Mount Adams are especially inspiring. If you’ve been searching for a meaningful project and the chance to revive a classic Victorian estate into something truly special, this is your canvas.
