Immaculately maintained stately Dutch Colonial blends classic period architecture w/extensive modern updates & finishes. Gorgeous hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, grounding each room in warmth & character. The main level centers around an oversized living room & a light-filled sunroom, ideal for large gatherings, quiet mornings, or a piano tucked in the corner. Well-equipped kitchen opens to a formal dining w/custom built-ins; a main-floor guest bath completes. Upstairs - hardwood floors carry the same character to four generously proportioned bedrooms surrounding a remodeled full bath. One bedroom opening to a private balcony w/territorial & mountain views. The lower level flexes to fit the modern need w/a 5th & potential 6th bedroom, or keep it at 5 & gain a spacious family/rec room. A dedicated utility room w/exterior access adds easy MIL potential. Outside - a fully fenced backyard & patio w/alley access, smart sprinkler system, & a detached 1-car garage wired w/220V. Big-ticket items are done including electrical & plumbing, new sewer line (2017), new roof (2018), new furnace w/ central A/C (2022), plus solar panels that keep down the electric bill. Tucked on a tree-lined street, minutes from parks, coffee shops, restaurants & grocery. Timeless Seattle living at its finest, with charm, character & flexibility. Pre-inspected.
