9608 5th Avenue NE

Presenting the Maple Leaf mid-century modern, revived. Return to 1951 in this Roman brick daylight rambler, perched high on a cul-de-sac with city and mountain views. Now with brass, terrazzo, & white oak finishes. Pure Seattle, with Space Needle-era swagger. Don't let the GPS fool you, the home sits well above 5th Ave NE! Enter through your private atomic-age courtyard, screened from the street and built for a swell shindig. The full-lite door with sidelights opens to a refinished interior: glowing oak floors, retro lighting, and period details at every turn. The kitchen takes center stage in white oak cabinetry, fleck quartz, and fluted tile to the ceiling, plus beverage station, and iconic mid-century Room & Board pendant. An open slat screen floats between levels. The main bath pairs Lisbon Green terrazzo with a cream floating vanity, double sinks, and West Elm brass sconces. Three bedrooms on the main. Two below. Room for everyone to spread out! The lower level adds flexible living space with separate entrance, an oversized family/rec room, kitchenette, dining area, full laundry, workout area, & 3/4 bath with a wood double vanity & terracotta half-moon shower. Cedar-lined closets and storage throughout. Large two-car garage with Tesla charger. Fenced backyard with garden path & mature landscaping. Northgate light rail, UW, dining and shopping, minutes away. Nine to five downtown. Five to nine in your Mid-Mod escape. Savor golden hour behind the Olympics, nightly.
