Unmatched pride of ownership meets unparalleled central location in this unbelievably charming craftsman. From the true “rocking chair front porch”, to the leaded glass windows, to the original wood floors, it's clear that the homeowners understood how special this home was, keeping it on a strict maintenance and update schedule over their 44 years of ownership, but using a gentle, thoughtful touch when making cosmetic upgrades. The beautiful, period appropriate bathroom was renovated by JAS Design Build in 2010. The kitchen has been carefully preserved, but refreshed with newer countertops, freshly painted cabinets, and updated appliances. The charming breakfast nook allows for gathering in the kitchen, the heart of the home. The spacious dining room can be converted back to its original function as a bedroom, but there is also a second, recently refreshed, bedroom on the lower level. The living room and dining room receive generous amounts of natural light while the main floor bedroom is spacious and loaded with storage. Whether throwing a Solstice party, gathering friends for the 4th of July, or just enjoying a mellow evening on your front porch, this is the ultimate setting to experience summer in Seattle. 2 blocks from Gasworks Park and the Burke Gilman Trail, 6 blocks to the eateries of Stone Way, 9 blocks to Wallingford Center, moments to Fremont and U-District, and convenient to downtown / South Lake Union. Newer roof, siding, windows. 200 amp panel & updated wiring.
