110 NE 59th Street

An updated 1912 craftsman celebrating its eleventh decade. A lot has changed over the past century, yet this home manages to show its age in only the best possible ways. Box-beam dining room ceiling, leaded-glass entry, a window seat with storage, two built-in desks installed long before anyone said "work from home." Granite countertops & glass-front cabinets in the kitchen with custom cabinetry & coffee bar. Mini-splits for AC in nearly every room. Upstairs the primary suite ceiling vaults to an exposed beam beneath skylights & the walk-in closet has more space than a townhome’s third bedroom. The lower level tells two stories: one side lives as its own apartment - a second kitchen, bedroom & bathroom, while the other half features a rec room, gym/storage & laundry. Out back, the generous patio is wired for a hot tub & divides into dining & lounging bordered by a freshly seeded lawn, an old plum tree & cedar fencing. The detached 271 sqft shop/studio at the rear is fully finished, permitted & built to the highest sound-proofed specifications; it has been a woodworking shop & would make a fine studio/office/tinker space. Then there's the part you can't build: Green Lake is blocks away, close enough that the loop becomes a habit rather than an outing. Mighty O Donuts in the morning, Restaurant Christine & Aslan Brewing at night, PCC for the rest. Roosevelt light rail for when driving sounds like the worse idea & a covered porch under a grape arbor for the evenings you stay put
