466 Wren Drive

One of the few remaining original hunting cabins in Mount Washington, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home set gracefully along the hillside of Moon Canyon keeps itself hidden. From the street, there's only a gate. Open it, and the city disappears: light filtering through the canopy, a stone-walled courtyard, a quiet exhale. Inside, sunlight spills through the windows and French doors into the living and dining areas in a way that shifts from a glowing warmth to something that changes its mind by the hour - the kind of light that makes the couch look more appealing than whatever else you had planned. Sliding glass doors off the primary bedroom open to the newly rebuilt redwood deck that looks out over bougainvillea and the hillside. Downstairs, a completely remodeled bathroom and polished concrete floors give the lower level its own quiet and calm, with a covered patio that pulls you back outside. At 1,728 square feet, priced at $899,000 in the Mount Washington Elementary school district, this is one of the more compelling opportunities on the Eastside right now. Some houses ask you to imagine what they could be. This one just needs you to open the gate.
