Blog Buyer A bridge across a Steiner

A bridge across a Steiner

By Alyssa Starelli, October 23, 2019

This Fall, I was able to help clients buy their dream home, a magical log home on the river built in 1939-40 by the revered Steiner Family.

This home had been lovingly restored with all the particular “Steiner” features intact — from vertical barked logs, to wood-batten chinking, wrought iron closures, speakeasy-windows in doors, and especially the ornate balustrade from hand picked bent-wood lumber. Too many features to list, but what’s special about this house is the lantern-lit BRIDGE, spanning the living room and connecting the two sides of the home!

To own a Steiner home, whether it be one of the hundreds of Steiner cabins or a stately log home such as this, is a true dream for most Oregonians and as a realtor, just as special to assist in conveying this home to its future stewards.  I will mark working on this home as one of the highlights of my career.
