830 NE 59th Street

Character you can't fake, updates you don't have to make. This 1916 Roosevelt Craftsman pairs turn-of-the-century soul with 10-foot main-level ceilings, original details, and a classic covered front porch built for slow mornings. Inside, a refreshed kitchen anchors light-filled living spaces, two bedrooms, and 1.75 baths keep daily life easy, and French doors swing open to a custom brick patio. The fully finished walk-out basement is the secret weapon: a big family room, a dedicated office space that converts easily to a third bedroom, and brand-new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The heavy lifting is done, so you can simply settle in: fresh paint inside and out, a cleaned and reinsulated attic, plus a new sump pump and perimeter drain that keep the lower level dry and worry-free. Out back, a fully fenced yard, a separate secure shed, and cleverly built-in storage swallow bikes, tools, and weekend projects with room to spare. Then there's the location. Roosevelt light rail is a short walk north for a no-traffic ride to UW, downtown, and Sea-Tac, while Whole Foods, Roosevelt Square, Portage Bay Cafe, and standout coffee at Armistice, Santo, and Fred all sit minutes from your door. Green Lake, Cowen Park, and Ravenna Park stretch out in every direction, the Walk Score sits in the 90s, and highly rated Roosevelt High anchors the schools. Detached single-family homes this dialed-in, this close to Link, at this price rarely come along. Come see it before it's gone.
