CamWest Preserves the Nettleton Mansion

If you’ve been curious about that wide expanse of land on State Street, expect to see construction starting shortly on 24 new CamWest Development homes.  That is, 24 new condominium-style homes and one grand white-columned mansion with plenty of Kirkland history.  The Nettleton Mansion was built in 1914 as a southern-colonial revival style home for Seattle Post-Intelligencer publisher, Clark Nettleton and his wife Jennie (later sold to Green’s Funeral Home). 

The 3000 sf house was moved about 3 months ago from its original spot on the property to the southwest corner of the lot where it is being restored.   CamWest will keep the historic home’s charm and offer it for sale as a single-family home (the price is still undetermined) within the new development called appropriately enough, "Nettleton Commons."

Nettleton Commons is nestled on over 2 acres and will offer 12 new home plans that are 3-4 bedroom/2 car garage dwellings with architectural variety, open floor plans, gourmet kitchens and many amenities.  There is also a big common area and the tree groves will remain.  It’s just a hop-skip to the new Google campus and downtown Kirkland.   You can check out the site plan and other info on the budding community here.  Letters of intent are being accepted now so you can customize you future home (or mansion!).  A model for the $800-900K new homes is planned to be open by March.  You can contact Brian Nienaber with questions nienaber@windermere.com  ~j
