About this home

Steeped in Port Townsend history & filled w/stories spanning more than a century, this remarkable Edwardian-style home has been part of the fabric of the community since 1905. This grand residence—once known as the Hansel House & later home to BayView General Hospital—offers endless possibility. Step into the impressive front entrance; a gracious rotunda & entry hall, where a majestic staircase immediately takes center stage. Original character unfolds throughout, from fir floors & exquisite woodwork to the intricate octagonal parlor & original back staircase. Nine bedrooms offer incredible flexibility for guests, offices & more--the expansive windows capture views of PT Bay, the Strait & Cascade Mtns. Today, the home carries its beautiful history with the character, craftsmanship & unexpected details that make a century-old home so captivating. Thoughtful additions have not erased reminders of its past—including an original laundry chute & even an laundry room ironing board still bearing the words “Bayview Hospital.” Generous gathering spaces, a butler's pantry & fascinating reminders of the home's former life add to its singular personality. All of this is conveniently located in Uptown—just blocks from the Farmers Market, Aldrich's & neighborhood shops, w/downtown's restaurants, waterfront & shopping just down the hill. Rich w/history, personality & stories yet to be written, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of PT’s truly memorable properties.
