You will love this amazing home steeped in tradition with so much heart and soul. In 1930 George and Frances Pocock (think University of Washington rowing bringing home the Gold Medal from the 1936 Olympic Games) purchased their new home in Laurelhurst. The current owners took the reins from Frances Pocock in 1991 with the vision of maintaining its integrity but adding space to better fit their lifestyle. The foot print was expanded opening the kitchen to the new family room with a private guest suite above, this addition also created space for a beautiful primary bath hidden in the trees. No details were missed inside or out to create a perfect match to the original home. These gracious formal spaces are full of light and flow easily outdoors to your private street to street lot wrapped in beautiful landscapes, quaint patios and lush gardens. Upstairs, in addition to the guest suite, there are four bedrooms all with gleaming hardwood floors and lovely garden outlooks. The primary has great closet space, a five piece ensuite bath and laundry. One of the other bedrooms has been used as an office space with beautiful built in cabinetry. The lower level is unfinished with plenty of room for rainy day play, a huge shop and exercise area. A new two car garage was also part of the addition. Close to parks, dedicated street ends for access to the water, University of Washington, Seattle Childrens, light rail and University Village. Within the Beach Club boundary.
