A rare in-city retreat, this thoughtfully remodeled Dutch Colonial with a modern twist offers a lifestyle centered around gathering, creativity, and connection. The main residence features 4 beds, 3 baths, and a light-filled library. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen showcases high-end appliances and is surrounded by windows, creating a bright and inviting space for cooking and entertaining. Double doors open directly from the dining area to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Complete with a retractable awning, the deck is perfect for al fresco dinners, morning coffee, and celebrations that stretch into the evening. Beyond the main home, a fully permitted 1-bedroom DADU with vaulted ceilings and skylights provides an ideal space for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living. A detached office with floor-to-ceiling windows creates an inspiring work-from-home environment, while an additional studio offers flexibility for art, fitness, or creative pursuits. Beautifully landscaped grounds, mature plantings, and a fire pit gathering area create inviting spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy year-round. Ideally located just minutes from UW, University Village, Matthews Beach, and the Burke-Gilman Trail, with access to highly rated public schools. Rarely does a property offer this level of flexibility and possibility-an extraordinary place to live, work, create, and gather, all while enjoying the feeling of a private retreat in the heart of the city.
