About this home

Rare Capitol Hill opportunity—a fully re-engineered 1913 Craftsman on a quiet hillside street with east-facing Lake Washington & Cascade views! Set between North Capitol Hill & Madison Valley, above Madison's restaurants & traffic, among mature trees & original Craftsman & Tudor neighbors. The owners invested $400K completed in 2026, into what most buyers never see: foundation reinforcement under full City permit with independent third-party geotechnical oversight, carrying a lifetime, transferable warranty. All interior structural work was engineer-drawn before any wall came down, with five inspections & reports available on request. Ductless mini-splits bring year-round comfort without cutting into original ceilings, the main water line was upgraded to 1", & premium sound-reducing windows run throughout. The main floor opened into one light-filled kitchen & living space; the kitchen was fully remodeled with a premium Café appliance package, every bath rebuilt with new vanities, tile & fixtures, a bath added & an upstairs bedroom expanded into a primary suite. Engineered hardwood runs throughout, every door was replaced with Emtek hardware, & the home freshly painted—while the original high ceilings & built-ins stayed exactly where they were. On the east side, two balconies face Lake Washington & the Cascades, with Bellevue's lights across the water at night; downstairs, a flexible bonus room suits an office, gym, or TV room.
