On the market for the first time in more than 60 years, this remarkable home carries a story that began in 1953 and unfolded thoughtfully over the decades. This is a rare opportunity to own a property with such deep roots. The original main floor showcases the craftsmanship and solid construction of its mid-century origins. Anchored by a classic wood-burning fireplace, the living room offers warmth and authenticity, flowing into a formal dining room. The kitchen is mostly a delightful time capsule, complete with a vintage double oven from the 1960's and original cabinets. Two good sized bedrooms with hardwood floors provide comfort and flexibility, while a full bath remodeled in the bold style of the 1980s, blue tub and all, adds a splash of personality. Don't miss the 1/2 bath tucked inside the closet. Solid wood built-in's abound. In 1985, a fully permitted second-story addition transformed the home, expanding it upward and reimagining its livability. The second floor provides a family room, wet bar and generous sized primary bedroom retreat, complete with a large en-suite bathroom that feels like a private spa with a giant jacuzzi tub and sauna, and deck with views of Lake Washington. Sizable, (2) car garage. Flat, corner lot. Zoned NR2. Whether your vision is preservation, renovation or redevelopment, the zoning supports flexibility and long-term value in a great neighborhood. Don't miss the Seward Park Prize!
