About this home

A private PNW cottage in the heart of Madison Park, where warm, light-filled interiors meet a connection to the outdoors. A welcoming courtyard sets the tone, leading to a living room with soaring ceilings and an inviting chef’s kitchen with a generous island that flows seamlessly into the dining and family rooms. Dutch doors open to a tranquil garden with a calming water feature, creating a peaceful extension of the home. Upstairs, two bedrooms with spacious closets share a full bath, while a balcony offers another quiet place to enjoy the morning sun. A dedicated laundry room and detached two-car garage complete the home. Just one block from Lake Washington and moments from Madison Park’s restaurants and shops, this peaceful retreat offers an effortless connection to both nature and city living.
