On the coveted west side of Hood River, tucked onto 2.2 private acres, sits a rare piece of Gorge history waiting for its next chapter. A true Victorian treasure, this 6-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is less of a turnkey property and more of an opportunity — a restoration project for someone who sees beauty in craftsmanship, scale, and story.Bordered on the south by the peaceful flow of Indian Creek, the property feels like its own hidden sanctuary. Through the trees, you’ll catch glimpses of both Mount Adams and Mount Hood — iconic views that remind you daily why living in the Columbia River Gorge is so special. The setting alone is extraordinary: level acreage, mature trees, privacy, and the soothing sound of water nearby.Inside, the home still holds so much of its original soul. Tall ceilings, generous room sizes, oversized windows that flood the interiors with natural light, and large closets — uncommon for a home of this era — speak to the thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship of its time. The structure appears remarkably solid and straight, offering a strong foundation for the extensive cosmetic and systems updates it will require.This is not a light refresh. It needs vision, investment, and care. But for the right steward, the reward could be exceptional: restoring intricate trim, refinishing original details, blending period charm with modern amenities, and bringing this historic beauty back to life.The third floor offers flexible space with caretaker’s quarters complete with a kitchenette and bathroom — ideal for guests, multi-generational living, creative studio space, or potential rental income. From here, the views of Mount Adams are especially inspiring. If you’ve been searching for a meaningful project and the chance to revive a classic Victorian estate into something truly special, this is your canvas.

Venkat is a very good negotiator. He was quick to respond, when I had questions. He came to all the meetings with the seller and provided valuable inputs on inspections and mortgage options. Overall, I was impressed and would love to work with him again.

Venkat is very professional and has tremendous knowledge in the real estate industry. He was always available to discuss and made time to visit the construction site several times during the course. I was looking at a new construction and had to wait for the property to be built.

Muthu has good knowledge about the community and understands the needs of his customers. He helped us sell our house in record time and followed up with the buyer and the agent until the complete closure. We received multiple offers and Muthu negotiated well and helped us decide on the buyer.

— Praveen

Venkat Muthu is a wonderful person to go with. Very friendly and advices as per the need and gives his service and support where and when needed and some times going beyond. Really happy to share the review and I highly recommend if anyone is looking for any homes.

— Alishetty

Venkat is great to work with as realtor. He is very patient and listens to the requests of the buyer or seller and doesn’t push as t any point of time. He has a good understanding of the market situation and location for investments as well. All this comes from experience with him recently buying a home.
