Step into 1917 with this iconic Seattle Craftsman — restored & upgraded, not remodeled, honoring its architectural soul. Original details shine, from revived millwork, stained glass, and vintage hardware to carefully sourced period fixtures, reflecting years of thoughtful stewardship. Modern updates blend seamlessly with early-century charm, including double-hung wood windows, updated plumbing and electrical, gas furnace, tankless water heater, heated bath floors, custom cabinetry, gas range, and soapstone counters. The versatile lower level is perfect for rental income, guests, or multigenerational living. Out back, the deck + patio surrounded by beautiful landscaping offer a peaceful sanctuary or a host's dream setting. The detached garage adds coveted off-street parking and storage… or reimagine it as a creative studio, home office, or the ultimate backdrop for an entertainer’s backyard escape! Future potential exists to add a level to the home with sweeping Olympic and Sound views. All this in an exceptional Seattle location near restaurants, shops, parks, and transit — a rare chance to own a meticulously restored historic home in the heart of it all.
