707 Harris St, Ketchikan, AK 99901

Perched 36 steps above charming Harris Street, this one-of-a-kind property greets you with sweeping views of Ketchikan Creek and its famous salmon ladder. Bring your vision--and a tool belt--because this estate-sale offering is every contractor's challenge ... and opportunity.Inside the main home, an unfinished, free-spirited floor plan meanders from roomroom, waiting for someone to define its spaces and polish its potential. Across a covered breezeway sits an attached six-bedroom, six-bath wing an ideal setup for a future VRBO or other short-term rental income once renovations are complete.
