About this home

Charming Cape Cod-style home with gracious vintage touches throughout. Built in 1937, this two-bedroom residence is nestled on a rare, oversized 7,350 square foot lot with a lovely tree outlook and ready for gardening and enjoyment. Step through the vintage French Blue door to find gleaming hardwood floors, elegant coved ceilings, new pinpoint ceiling lights and big picture windows that flood the home with natural light. An archway door leads from the dining area into a delightful kitchen featuring brand-new stainless steel appliances and from the dining nook, one has direct access to the porch in back, large enough for a barbeque and table & chairs. The home retains its classic soul with an amazing vintage tiled bathroom and is kept cozy by a reliable gas furnace. Downstairs, a huge basement is perfect for extra living space or for woodworking or hobbies, complete with an extra room perfect for an art studio or home office. Outside, the massive lot offers endless outdoor potential and includes a detached garage with a new roof. Location is everything here—you are just down the street from the Highland Park Corner Store, a wonderful community gathering place. Commuters will love being so close to the bus stop; King County Metro Route 131 is just steps away and can get you downtown quickly. This is the perfect starter home combining classic charm, modern updates, and unmatched space in a tranquil neighborhood.
