About this home
Rare Ravenna opportunity - a flexible 5-6 bedroom Dutch Colonial that lives large, with MIL potential, on a tree-lined street minutes from Ravenna Park and UW. Hardwood floors flow through an oversized living room and light-filled sunroom, opening to a kitchen and formal dining room with custom built-ins. Upstairs, four bedrooms surround a remodeled full bath, with one opening to a private balcony framing Cascade and territorial views. The lower level adds a 5th or 6th bedroom with its own utility room and exterior access - easily converted into an MIL for potential rental income. All major systems are done including: new electrical, plumbing, windows, sewer line (2017), roof (2018), and furnace with central A/C (2022), plus solar panels that reduce utility costs. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard, patio, smart sprinklers, and a detached garage wired for EV charging or a workshop. Pre-inspected and move-in ready. A short stroll to coffee, restaurants, and grocery in one of Seattle’s most established neighborhoods.
