About this home

Tucked high into the hillside on a rare double-lot setting, 2517 offers something hard to find this close to the center of the city: privacy, parking, outdoor room and wide territorial views from a home that feels set apart. Mature landscaping wraps the home in green, with outlooks toward Downtown, Capitol Hill and Mt. Baker neighborhoods. A hillside setting that feels private without being remote. The upper level holds the daily living spaces: kitchen with new appliances, dining and living areas with fireplace, a bedroom and bath. The home opens to a sun-soaked deck and generous patio, creating a natural place for morning ritual, outdoor meals and time with the view, the garden and the light. The walk-out garden level adds two bedrooms, a full bath and direct access to the grounds. The layout gives the home separation and flexibility, with living spaces above and a quieter yet connected bedroom level. The sale includes two tax parcels: the home at 2517 23rd Ave S and the adjacent 2518 22nd Ave S parcel, where a driveway from 22nd Ave S leads to an elevated two-car carport and large garden shed. Together, the parcels create a larger hillside property with parking, yard space and long-term flexibility most single-lot city homes cannot offer. Near light rail, bus lines, Jefferson Park and neighborhood favorites like Homer, Musang, Bar del Corso, Milk Drunk and Perihelion Brewery. A tucked-away central Seattle home with views and room to live both inside and out.
