<\/p>\n

A fully customized, five-story residence on the Columbia River in Bridgeport, WA<\/a>, is up for grabs, priced at $945,000.<\/p>\n

Originally built in 1910, the building was once the main supplier of grain and dairy to the sleepy town. As such, it has been dubbed the Flour Tower. But the waterfront building\u2019s more-recent design is rooted in a nautical past.<\/p>\n

The four-bedroom home at 1313 Jefferson Ave.<\/a> was converted in 2012, when visionary mariner Capt. Winfield \u201cScott\u201d Wright<\/strong> stumbled across it.<\/p>\n

After 40 years of travels aboard a 1934 schooner, which included two transpacific crossings from Los Angeles<\/a> to Hawaii, Wright discovered the old grain elevator tower and began transforming it into a full-time residence. He lived there with his partner until he passed away in August 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cWright was 75 when he started this project,\u201d says listing agent Mary Signorelli<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cHe took a five-story grain mill and converted it into a home with all of the modern conveniences a person could possibly want. It was dormant for decades, until he breathed new life into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although the layout is far from traditional, its creator seemingly thought of everything: two second-story guest suites, a spacious third-floor main suite, and a fourth-floor kitchen and communal spaces. The fifth floor is outfitted with a lounge and kitchenette that overlook the river.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe thought of every detail,\u201d says Signorelli. \u201cEvery floor has at least one half-bath or bathroom, four floors contain a washer and dryer, and there\u2019s even an enclosed sunroom on the river side with a deck for outdoor cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the time of its conversion, the entire structure was reinforced with foam insulation and a sprinkler system for fire protection. The property also comes with a dedicated workshop space, garage, wine cellar, and greenhouse.<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s currently set up as a residence, the nearly 1-acre property\u2019s mixed zoning offers various possibilities for its next owners. And there\u2019s still ample space to accommodate new construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Flour Tower<\/a> could provide any sort of recreational, commercial, or gaming structure: fishing or hunting lodge, corporate retreat, winery, VRBO\u2014you name it,\u201d says Signorelli.<\/p>\n

Beyond the walls of the Flour Tower, a private dock awaits with premier access to swimming, boating, and, of course, fishing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is one of the best fishing areas on the Columbia River,\u201d says Signorelli. \u201cThis property was a labor of love for Wright. He knew he\u2019d never recoup all of his investments into it, but he did it anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n
