About this home

A great old home with tons of potential—move-in ready, with plenty of projects to tackle at your own pace. Enjoy views of the iconic courthouse clock from the back porch and glimpses of the bay from the front. A rare combination, especially at this price point. Built in 1883, this Victorian has been a rental for the past 20 years and is ready for some well-deserved attention. Several big-ticket items are already taken care of, including a full foundation, updated wiring, and a newer roof. Siding, chimney repointing, and a list of smaller projects remain, but how far you take the restoration is up to you. Inside, you'll find two wood-burning fireplaces, beautiful old-growth vertical-grain fir floors throughout, and plenty of original character. The home offers 1,730 square feet over two stories, plus an upstairs widow's walk awaiting a railing. City pickleball courts and the courthouse basketball court are just 100 yards away. For someone who appreciates an old home and isn't afraid of a little sweat equity, this is an opportunity worth considering. Move in as-is or bring one of Port Townsend's grand old Victorians back to its former glory. Priced with the work ahead in mind, this one is well worth a look.
