About this home
Built in 1917 and thoughtfully updated over time, this classic Craftsman blends warmth, craftsmanship, and timeless character with everyday comfort. Beautifully preserved period details include original fir floors, rich millwork, picture rails, tall ceilings, and abundant natural light. The welcoming covered front porch, picket fence, and sunny corner lot create unmistakeable curb appeal and a true neighborhood presence. Inside, flexible living unfolds across three levels. The main floor offers bright gathering spaces and two bedrooms, including a standout sunroom wrapped in two walls of windows—creating a light-filled space ideal for a home office, reading lounge, or creative studio. The upper level features a spacious primary suite retreat with full bath. The daylight lower level adds exceptional versatility with a separate entrance, guest suite with legal egress, and a bonus room ideal for storage, gym, office, or a potential future MIL kitchen setup for rental or multigenerational living. Efficient ductless mini-splits provide modern heating and cooling. The large off-street parking area offers rare convenience and future potential for a garage, carport or DADU, along with space for a storage shed, play area, or outdoor entertaining. All this in a location that keeps you connected to the Greenwood commercial core, shopping, restaurants, Green Lake, and easy access to downtown Seattle and Fremont/SLU tech campuses. Timeless charm. Flexible living. Room to grow.
