About this home

Seattle charmer with Elliott Bay & Mt. Rainier views - a rare chance to make it your own. Some homes have a story worth continuing. This lovingly held 1940s residence in the heart of Magnolia offers a rare opportunity to restore, reimagine, and truly put your stamp on a piece of Seattle history while enjoying gorgeous views of Elliott Bay. The 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has been cherished by its owner for nearly 50 years, and its classic character is waiting to shine again. A full basement offers potential for expanded living space, a home office, or hobby space. A one-car garage and a 4,900 sq ft lot complete the existing footprint with plenty of room to grow. Step outside and you'll find a true hidden gem: a jewelbox garden, thoughtfully planted over the years, that brings color, texture, and a sense of quiet sanctuary to the outdoor space. It's the kind of yard that takes decades to cultivate and is ready to be enjoyed from day one. Magnolia is one of Seattle's most beloved neighborhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, strong sense of community, and enduring desirability. Whether you're an investor with a vision or someone searching for a forever home to make your own, the hardest ingredients to find – the views, the neighborhood, the lovingly tended garden – are already here waiting for you. Offered as-is, and ready for its next chapter.
