This historic Queen Anne home for sale is full of quirks and charm

Lately, it’s been seeming like more and more of Seattle is disappearing. We’re talking about the old parts that give the city its character and soul. But now you have an opportunity to own a piece of Seattle history thanks to this home of the week.

Home of the Week: 912 2nd Ave W

If we could describe this home in one word it would definitely be quirky. The listing describes this 1891 historical home as “charming and modern”. But to be honest, the Ankeny-Gowey house has been through a lot of eras. That being said, you can still catch a lot of original details like the home shape and woodwork.

While we like to keep things positive when it comes to the home of the week, we do not like that they are encouraging people to build on the lot. Because as we said Seattle is dissipating and adding two box-style homes to the lot is not the move. Not to mention this home has a great backyard and a decent chunk of land so why not instead grow a garden?

After all, there is more to life than building homes and becoming a landlord. Especially in this city. Anyway, this home is pretty big with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and over 2,800 square feet. Plus it’s located in the heart of Seattle in lower Queen Anne. You really can’t go wrong with that.

But this home will cost you a pretty penny at $1.95 million. Did you expect something different? Probably not. Personally, we’d love to see someone return this home to its glory.
