About this home

This 1903 Craftsman jewel box with mountain, city skyline and Space Needle views is on an excellent one-way Capitol Hill block directed away from Volunteer Park allowing for a serene, resident-only feel. The property's defining feature is its striking swooped-tail roof, which perfectly balances the elegant wide front porch and transitional columns. Enjoy rare curved bow windows, rich period millwork, beautiful heavy wooden pocket doors, charming window seats and an unusual and exquisite wood burning fireplace with deep green tile and hand forged iron hardware. Double doors in the dining room lead out to a beautiful patio, which also flows directly into the sunlit kitchen with breakfast bar, and wonderful eating nook. Upstairs features 3 bedrooms as well as a bonus classic sleeping porch. The high-ceilinged daylight basement includes an existing powder room, offering incredible expandable space. The property is complete with a detached garage and an ultra-private backyard, perfectly screened by a mature, tall laurel hedge. Experience an effortless urban lifestyle with nearby legendary local spots, from Macrina Bakery and Monsoon to Espresso Vivace.
