Live one block from Lake Washington and enjoy sunrise paddleboarding, bike rides along the boulevard, and evenings around the fire pit, with bald eagles a frequent sight overhead. Perched above the street on a private 7,200 sq ft corner lot, this 1944 brick bungalow offers views of the lake and mountains. Out back: flagstone paths, a grape arbor, a BBQ patio, a fire pit, and a hot tub, all screened by a tall cedar fence and laurels. Alley access and a detached garage make the yard feel especially secluded. Inside, freshly refinished hardwoods flow through an easy circular plan: a fireplace living room, a bay-window dining room, and a kitchen with a gas range, stainless appliances, and French doors that swing open to let the lake breeze run front to back. Off the living room, a sunny study with heated floors makes a quiet spot to read or unwind. Remodeled in 2024, the lower level is its own retreat: a cool, quiet primary suite with a 3/4 bath, plus laundry and a separate-entrance bonus room for a mud room, gym, studio, or office. The big-ticket work is done: high-efficiency furnace, updated electrical and plumbing, relined sewer. Room to grow, too: a previous owner explored a DADU over the garage and a second story, and plans for both are available (buyer to verify feasibility). Enjoy brunch at Both Ways Cafe and pizza at Aslan Brewing, explore Seward Park's old-growth trails, and reach Columbia City, Mt Baker, Leschi, and I-90 in minutes.

This 1924 Craftsman has been updated while retaining the character that made these homes special in the first place. The main floor has the classic Craftsman layout you hope to find with a welcoming living and dining room with original hardwood, cove ceiling and picture rail. A wood burning fireplace with period Batchelder tile details and built-ins completes the space.The vintage eat-in kitchen has quartz counters, freshly painted original cabinetry and new appliances, including a dishwasher. And tucked among those cabinets is a favorite detail—the built-in pie-cooling shelf and ironing board. You just don’t get that in a new kitchen. Even better, the expensive stuff is done. New wiring, plumbing, water main, sewer and furnace take much of the worry out of owning a 100-year-old home. Fresh interior and exterior paint and new light fixtures complete the refresh. Downstairs adds to the home’s 2097 total square feet with a high-ceiling, walk-out basement space that awaits your ideas. More bedrooms and bath? Studio? Media room? Workshop? Recreation space? Future finished living area? ADU (attached dwelling unit). There’s room to imagine. The large deep NR3 Zoned lot provides room to garden and play and a possible DADU (buyer to verify). A one-car garage and generous off-street parking are an increasingly rare Seattle luxury. Plus, you can walk to the nearest LINK Othello station. All in all, this is a home with history and personality ready for its next century of memories.

Built at a time when ‘old growth’ referred to quality building materials, not your aging parents. When laminate meant something you did while baking not building. This 1941-built home offers the best from an era of quality construction coupled with extraordinary, meticulously made improvements. The knob & tube wiring has been fully replaced and electrical panels upgraded. Newer high-efficiency gas furnace & h20 tank. Galvanized plumbing was removed & replaced with Pex piping. 3 bedrooms & 1 full bath on the main level & a ¾ bath in the lower level. Under the hood of this unassuming 1941 home, you’ll find beefy structural integrity. Complimented by insulated windows, hardwood floors, custom-designed open kitchen featuring wood cabinetry, heated floors, gas range, and tile backsplash. In 2026 the seller installed a new composition roof, vaulted ceilings & skylight to the front bedroom, plus fresh paint throughout. 2023 was the year of the bathroom remodel for the main level. Meanwhile, this seller (a true artist at heart) fully finished the lower floor to add a ¾ bath, laundry room, and home theatre (HDMI wired for sound). The artist’s touch comes with carefully sourced reclaimed interior doors, exotic wood trims, a rear deck, & raised garden beds on a level, partially fenced, 6,907 sq ft lot. You’ll have ample room to host a car show, but who needs a car when you are perfectly positioned between the Northgate & Pinehurst light rail stations.
