About this home

Historic South Park welcomes you to this beautifully updated craftsman, in a neighborhood that still feels like Seattle's best-kept secret even though it's six miles from downtown. The veranda is asking for potted plants and a couch you don't feel guilty about napping on. Inside, the living room has an exposed wood beam overhead and warm, wide-plank floors, built for a quiet Tuesday or a full house on game day. The kitchen anchors the main level with a butcher block island, granite counters, and stainless appliances, open to dining and living so nobody cooking dinner misses the conversation. On-demand hot water tank means no more negotiating shower time. Upstairs, the primary suite has its own Juliette deck with a peaceful view right into the trees. 2 addtional bedrooms upstairs with a bathroom in between. Out back, a huge pergola-covered deck with built-in seating opens onto raised garden beds already growing berries and herbs that you can take credit for. The garden shed with its own quiet charm is great for hobbies, office or ? Main floor laundry has double access to the deck. Gated area for secure off street parking. Step outside the gate and South Park does the rest. Walk to Loretta's Northwesterner for the Tavern Burger locals swear by, Tin Dog Brewing, Uncle Eddie's Public House, or Left Bank for a slow evening with the vinyl spinning. This is a neighborhood in the middle of becoming something, and this house already did the work of getting ready for you.
