A rare opportunity to call one of North Admiral’s most coveted streets home. Set on Palm Avenue, this charming 1920 residence offers something increasingly difficult to find —timeless character, extraordinary outdoor space & room to imagine what comes next. Opportunities to own on Palm Avenue at this price point are increasingly rare, surrounded by some of North Admiral’s most distinctive & valuable homes. From the welcoming covered porch, a neighborhood enjoy where neighbors stroll by & friendly hellos still happen. Inside, coved ceilings, hrdwd floors, original glass knobs, picture-rail molding & beautiful millwork preserve the home’s vintage soul, while updated windows, new roof, fresh paint, new carpet & updated lighting add modern comfort. Two bedrooms & a ¾ bath are conveniently located on the main level, while the spacious primary suite upstairs offers a private retreat. The updated kitchen features stainless appliances & a breakfast nook, plus a vaulted sunroom offering wonderful flex space. Downstairs, a generous rec room, ¾ bath & kitchenette add versatility. Outside, expansive lawns, mature landscaping, a sunken patio and rear deck create a remarkable in-city oasis. The approx. 10,600 SF street-to-street lot extends from Palm to Ferry w/ approx. 100 feet of Palm frontage & intriguing future possibilities (buyer to verify). Stroll to Mioposto, Arthur’s, Mission, Circa, the historic Admiral Theater & Alki. Move in. Make it your own. Imagine what comes next.
