6717 26th Avenue NW

On a tranquil tree lined street in Sunset Hill, this 1909 craftsman delivers the settled, storied feel that only comes with time. Crown molding, thoughtful storage, and an easy flow from room to room carry that character through every space, while skylights keep the house bright even on gray Seattle days — watch the moon track across the one above the primary bedroom. The light-filled family room frames a magnolia that blooms before winter ends, and deep purple hydrangeas anchor the front garden each spring. Three bedrooms and two and a half baths are joined by flexible spaces on opposite ends of the home, easily accommodating multiple workspaces that stay close enough to feel connected but separate enough to concentrate. A dedicated dining room anchors everyday meals and gatherings alike, and out back, a private, quiet yard feels like a genuine retreat. One block to Sunset Hill Park, a stroll to Golden Gardens for sunset, the Sunday farmers market, the Ballard Locks, and Shilshole Marina — with the shops, cafes, and restaurants that make Ballard special just down the hill. Convenient, connected, and just off the beaten path, this bright, storied home is ready for its next chapter.
