Property Description

Perched high above the charming town of Wasco, this 1897 Queen Anne Victorian Estate is a living work of art-where history, elegance, and modern comfort intertwine. Currently a residence, it is perfect for a B&B or event venue. Surrounded by towering trees and lush gardens, the home is a timeless landmark, welcoming you with a wraparound porch, painted ceilings, and a gazebo made for lingering summer evenings. Step inside and be transported to another era. Delicate leaded glass windows, oak parquet floors, and fully functioning pocket doors speak to the home's craftsmanship. Original wainscoting and 120-year-old wallpaper tell stories of generations past, while a hand-painted stair mural by Ethan Radcliffe and cassette ceilings in the grand living and dining rooms add drama and grace. Every corner reveals thoughtful detail-from closets in each bedroom to a propane-heated parlor perfect for intimate gatherings. Yet this historic treasure is also refreshed for today. The chef's kitchen gleams with premium stainless appliances, while modern updates include a high-efficiency furnace, updated plumbing and sewer lines, vinyl double-pane windows, and a new composite roof (2022). The fully finished basement, with gun safe, offers potential for a private apartment. Crowning it all, the 4th-floor ballroom is pure magic-complete with pool table, surround sound, and pellet stove-an enchanting retreat for celebrations or quiet nights in. The grounds extend the sense of grandeur: an electric entry gate with lion sculptures, fruit trees, blueberries, roses, and a fully automated sprinkler system and landscape lighting. An impressive 48x36 industrial garage with 11ft RV bay includes a propane furnace heated shop, bathroom, and power panel - perfect for hobbies or collections-plus full RV hookups and additional large equipment parking. A rare blend of romance and practicality, past and present, this magnificent estate is a legacy waiting to be cherished. Furniture is negotiable.
