Sitting high on Scenic Hill, this private estate has a separate carriage home complementing this historically significant home. The original owner/builder, Sam Crockett (a relative of Davy Crockett) came here in 1844 making him one of the first pioneers (it wasn’t even Washington yet—it was the Oregon Territory). He moved to Kent in 1890 and built the first home on Scenic Hill. Known for building fine homes, this was his last. Wood for the house came off the property. It was originally a four-acre estate and the house sold in 1905 when it was titled. There have only been four owners since Sam Crockett, the current owner being Howard Leese, guitarist for Heart for 22 years and Bad Company for 22 years. The carriage house has an additional one bedroom, one bathroom, and kitchen.
