Westinghouse-Lindbergh Estate, Estate of the Day

Filed under: Estates

Today's classic red and white mansion on Washington's Bainbridge Island has an interesting history that involves two famous American families, the Westinghouses and the Lindberghs. An article from last year's Kitsap Sun reveal that the original home was built in the early 1900s. Around the late 1920s or early 1930s, someone who was a descendant of electrical titan George Westinghouse purchased the home and updated it in the grand style it remains in today.

The Lindbergh part of the story begins in the mid-1960s when Charles Lindbergh's son, Jon, purchased the home and lived here with wife, Barbara, and their six children for a couple of decades. The rambling seven-bedroom home includes a butler's pantry and upstairs maids' quarters. Many of the original fixtures and the arched woodwork and bead-boarding remain. The property has 270 feet of waterfront on Manzanita Bay and there is a matching boat house and dock. The home was listed at $6.95 million last year and is now listed at $5.95 million.
