5257 36th Avenue NE

This Bryant Cape Cod home pairs classic character, with a wonderfully private, fenced garden setting. Newly refinished hardwood floors, energy-efficient wood-wrapped windows, a cozy gas fireplace, a charming dining-room bay window, and French doors opening to a spacious west-facing deck make everyday living feel easy. The level backyard is ready for gardening, entertaining, pets, play—or all of the above—with mature plantings, an apple tree, and garden shed. The kitchen boasts beautiful custom red birch cabinetry, including glass-front display cabinets, brings warmth, craftsmanship, and a touch of elegance to this inviting space. A Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, gas range, and coordinating hood make it as functional as it is handsome. And the best part? The kitchen opens directly to the dining room, so the cook is always part of the conversation. Two main-floor bedrooms, a beautifully remodeled bath with jetted, massage tub, heated towel rack + walk-in shower complete the main level. Downstairs brings a wood-paneled rec room, ¾ bath, laundry, abundant storage, and potential for a third bedroom. A one-car garage with EV ready charging adds another reason to call this home. A Walk Score of 82 and Bike Score 87, with the Burke-Gilman Trail, University Village, UW, Seattle Children’s, plus Mioposto, Seattle Sunshine, Ravenna Brewing and Metropolitan Market, and much more, close by. Excellent public schools add to the appeal of this home.
