Perched high above town, this is a truly rare offering — an in-town sanctuary that feels worlds away. Set among mature Ponderosa Pines and Douglas Firs, the property unfolds like a private garden estate, with curated landscaping, winding paths, and intimate seating areas framed by sweeping views of the Columbia River, Mt. Adams, the Klickitat Hills, and St. Peter's Landmark. That dramatic backdrop doesn't stop at the door — it carries through the home itself. Rich in history and craftsmanship, the property features a signature basalt arch and a stone stairway connecting the garden to 3rd Street — details originally crafted by the Tronzano Bros. that speak to the enduring quality woven into every corner of this home.Inside, thoughtful updates honor the home's character rather than erase it. The kitchen has been reimagined with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and premium appliances including an induction cooktop. Original quarter-sawn oak floors on the main level and maple upstairs add warmth and authenticity, while the living room is anchored by a striking basalt gas fireplace. Modern comfort is well covered with radiant heat in the upper bath, mini-splits throughout, and a gas furnace. Upstairs, light-filled bedrooms and a tucked-away bonus space offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or creative use. The detached two-car garage includes an additional ~360 sq ft of flex space with real potential for a studio or ADU (buyer to verify). A gated entry provides privacy, with ample off-street parking for an RV or boat. Whether you're drawn by the views, the history, the gardens, or the lifestyle — this is Pacific Northwest living at its finest, with the added possibility of short-term rental income.
