5728 34th Avenue NE

With a deep and meaningful history, this home is a story unto itself. Built for an attorney and opera singer, then passed along to the next generation when the time came, then to the current owner in 2007. Fall in love with soaring ceilings, sunken front garden, carefully procured light fixtures and restored built-ins, JAS redesigned kitchen and octagon shaped dining room. Western sunlight sparkles through stained glass windows as you read on a cozy sofa by a crackling wood fire. Variegated maple trees provide canopy, privacy, and a lush focal point from the west, while the back portion of the lot has space for gardening and a fabulous deck for grilling and recreating. The lower level offers income potential as a spacious, bright, two bedroom / one bathroom apartment, but it also easily incorporates into the core unit as a family room, office, guest room, etc. DO NOT miss the attic; one ascent of the ladder and you’ll be fantasizing about what it could become. The detached garage is the ideal hobby space with a dedicated electrical panel (220V) and offers off-street parking, while the loft above is waiting for you to give it a new identity. Beyond the utterly charismatic house and glorious grounds, you’ll be treated to one of most charming, quietly bustling neighborhoods in Seattle, with Mio Posto, Met Market, Bryant Park, U-Village, Bryant Elementary and dozens of other sweet destinations at your fingertips.
