As quintessentially Seattle as it gets! Perched up above the street to maximize privacy, this Portage Bay gem keeps its 1920's charm intact while being modernized smoothly for 21st century living. Full of personality from period details like built-ins, hardwood floors, a built-in bar area & other craftsman details you love, accentuated by extensive, thoughtfully done updates both inside & out. A 2024 full remodel of the kitchen transformed the space into something out of a magazine, equipped w/ professional-grade appliances from Fisher & Paykel, quartz counters, custom hand-blown pendant lights from Seattle Glassblowing Studio, & handmade lavastone tile backsplash. Flexible & accommodating layout w/ 2 beds & a full bath on both the main & the upper level, while a blank slate, full-height basement offers extra room for storage, hobbies, or your creative ideas. Other great updates you might not see: a full electrical rewire (bye-bye, knob & tube!), new gutters w/ guards, heated floors in the kitchen & main hallway, a French drain & sump pump added to the basement, newer water heater, & an EV-ready garage. Outside, a fenced yard plays host to a delightful patio, apple & pear trees, & a custom shed. Nestled in one of the city's most tight-knit communities w/ great eats, coffee, parks & more within blocks. Stroll across the bridge to UW, Agua Verde, Saint Bread or Gasworks for the ideal Seattle day. Just turn the key & enjoy!
