About this home

After nearly 30 years of being lovingly cared for, this 1927 Craftsman is ready to welcome its next chapter. From the moment you enter, the home's original character is unmistakable, with arched doorways, textured walls, built-in shelving, and ornate inlaid hardwood floors. Creating a sense of warmth and history that is increasingly rare. Thoughtful updates were made to enhance what was already here, rather than erasing it. Skylights bring beautiful natural light throughout, while the custom kitchen and updated bathrooms add comfort and function. Upstairs, the loft-style primary suite feels wonderfully removed from the everyday with a luxury bath w/ quartz counters and jetted tub, a gas fireplace, large closet, and space for a home office or sitting area. French doors open to a private balcony that features the home's most expansive views of Lake Washington and the Cascades. The story continues outdoors, where a serene Zen garden spans the front & back yards, with bamboo fencing and irrigation throughout. The lower level, with private entrance, adds flexibility w/ a fully permitted 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU featuring premium finishes, stainless appliances, heated floors, and garden views. Garage, shared laundry, and shop share this level for added convenience. Located in the heart of Seward Park, just blocks from Martha Washington Park and public beaches, & minutes from the historic 300-acre Seward Park & public transit. This beloved home has it all, and more.
