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. Picture guests sipping coffee on decks that overlook the creek while salmon leap below. At present, the property still holds personal belongings from the late owner, and considerable cleanup and finish work will be required before traditional financing is possible. Cash or construction-loan buyers with imagination will appreciate the upside here: panoramic water views, walk-to-town convenience, and rare multi-suite capacity in Ketchikan's tight lodging market. Highlights " Location: 707 Harris Street just uphill from downtown, overlooking Ketchikan Creek & salmon ladder " Access: 36 exterior steps lead to a private perch above the street " Layout: Unfinished main residence plus six-bedroom / six-bath guest wing connected by breezeway " Potential: Excellent candidate for VRBO, employee housing, or boutique B&B after renovation " Estate Sale: Sold as-is; significant debris removal & construction needed before occupancy/financing " Views: Constant creek vistas, seasonal salmon runs, and the soothing sound of rushing water " Zoning & Utilities: Buyer to verify all permitting requirements for short-term rentals and future improvements If you're a builder, investor, or fearless DIYer looking for your next project with serious upside, 707 Harris Street is calling. Make the climb, imagine the possibilities, and transform this contractor's special into Ketchikan's next showcase property.
