About this home

Some homes simply have that je ne sais quoi, and this 1924 Craftsman Cottage is one of them. It boasts the charm, proportions, and original details that are hard to find these days, along with a thoughtful, beautiful refresh by Waterkamp Homes and Walt Kane Construction. Start with the oversized front porch, then step inside to discover hardwood floors, built-ins, multi-paned windows, and a circular floor plan that feels quintessentially bungalow. The sweet, brand-new kitchen with all-new appliances and a built-in dining nook is made for lingering over morning coffee and long dinners. Updated bathrooms bring a fresh, modern feel, while the new roof, siding, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, water heater, and AC cover all of the big-ticket items. A full unfinished basement offers room to play and dream, and an attached 1-car garage is an uncommon bonus. Then there’s the Tangletown location, within walking distance to Zoka, Aslan Brewing, Mighty-O Donuts, cafes, restaurants, shops, transit, and beautiful Green Lake. With the UW and Downtown Seattle close at hand, this is the kind of neighborhood where daily life feels easy and weekends feel full. A rare blend of old-School Seattle character and new-home confidence; come discover it for yourself.
