1743 26th Avenue E

A classic 1911 Montlake Craftsman, completely reimagined for modern living. 1743 26th Ave. E. retains the character of its original architecture while adding approximately 3,060 square feet of beautifully designed new space. The result is essentially a new 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with the quality and amenities of new construction. Inside, a contemporary aesthetic is complemented by oak hardwood floors and leaded-glass accents. The custom kitchen features designer finishes, top-of-the-line Bosch appliances, and a butler’s pantry. Accordion doors open the kitchen and dining room to the expansive Ipe deck and level backyard, creating an effortless connection between the home and outdoors. With a den adjacent to the living room, a lower-level media room, and a generous utility room, there is flexibility for both daily living and working from home. Beyond the house, Montlake has something increasingly rare in Seattle: a true neighborhood. The 24th Avenue business district is just minutes away, with Fuel Coffee & Books, Oxbow, Café Lago, the library, and other shops and services creating an easy, walkable daily rhythm. The Montlake Community Center and Playfield provides another dimension to the community. Potential off-street parking (see photo). At your front door is the Washington Park Arboretum — one of Seattle’s great urban landscapes. For those seeking design, space, community, and nature, this is a rare Montlake offering. There is simply nothing like it on the market today.
