A Timeless Brick Beauty in the Coveted Hutton School District
Welcome to a truly special home — a stately 2-story vintage brick residence set on an expansive 17,200 sq ft lot in one of Spokane’s most desirable neighborhoods, surrounded by other distinguished and historic homes.First time on the market in 61 years, this treasured property is being offered by the Estate of its fourth owners, the Louthian family. The home’s legacy stretches back nearly a century:
1928: Built by A.K. Schmidt, the original owner and builder
1929–1936: Owned by M.E. Mack
1936–1965: Owned by Mr. Pahnke
1965–Present: Owned and lovingly cared for by Mr. & Mrs. Louthian
In 1967, architects Bernard & Holloway — renowned for their work on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library, Don S. Patterson Hall at EWU, Spokane Club Athletic Facility, and Pullman City Hall — expanded the home, adding a generous family room, deck, and basement garage (now a second family room and shop).A few years later, in 1975–1976, the downstairs garage was converted to another family room, and a fiberglass pool, breezeway, and 3.5-car garage were added — blending recreation and refinement to perfection.
Over the decades, this home has been the setting for countless memories — from the Macks’ legendary Halloween and bridge parties for 40 guests, to the Louthians’ joyful gatherings and summer pool celebrations.
Step inside and be greeted by an English-style entryway rich with original charm — gumwood and mahogany millwork, formal living and dining rooms, and the original fireplace and windows that preserve the warmth of its history.
The kitchen, updated over the years, flows into a spacious family room with abundant windows and a wet bar, perfect for entertaining. Upstairs are three secondary bedrooms, a shared bath, and a primary suite with a private bath. The main floor features a fourth bedroom and powder bath, with a fifth bedroom and additional bath located in the lower level. Original hardwood floors are believed to lie beneath the carpeting in the formal areas, hallways, and bedrooms — ready to be revealed and restored to their former glory.
The great room off the kitchen features a wood-burning stove, wet bar, and ample storage — a space large enough to host a ballroom-sized celebration.
This distinguished home is a piece of Spokane’s history, awaiting new owners to continue its story and create new memories for generations to come.
