Some homes ask you to compromise. This one doesn't. Nestled between Green Lake and Phinney Ridge, 535 N 74th St offers rare flexibility: live large as one expansive single-family home or let the built-in ADU work for you, rental income, extended living, or simply more space. The main house is bright and move-in-ready, with 5+ bedrooms, 2.75 remodeled baths, fresh paint, and updated systems throughout. An Art Deco fireplace and leaded windows anchor the formal living room, while the renovated kitchen shines with stainless appliances, a gas range, and honed granite counters. Upstairs, sunlit bedrooms and a private deck open to Mt. Rainier views, and covered porches lead to a landscaped yard with paver patio. Then there's the garage — and it deserves its own moment. At 28' x 24', fully plumbed, wired for 240-volt power, heated, skylit, and vaulted, it's the space collectors and entrepreneurs dream about, with an alley pad for an extra vehicle or trailer. The permitted, architect-designed ADU adds its own character: premium finishes, a spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, a flexible den/office, and custom cherry cabinetry, all with a private entrance. Walkable, adaptable, one of a kind in a perfect location to all your in-city desires.
Phinney Ridge, located between Woodland Park and Green Lake, is a residential and commercial Seattle neighborhood with a ridge-top main street and a patchwork of Craftsman homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Phinney Ave N and N 65th St, where indie cafes, bakeries, and small specialty shops line the sidewalks. The Woodland Park Zoo and the Phinney Center act as civic anchors, with the Bluebird Ice Cream shop adding a local ritual. Side streets step down the ridge in tidy blocks of early-20th-century houses and small apartment buildings. Parks and tree canopy shape the daily rhythm, with long walks and bike routes threading toward the lakes and trails.
