Description
Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in Madison Park, this wonderfully maintained mid-century brick residence blends privacy and timeless architecture with designer updates. Featured in the New York Times and set on a rare street-to-street lot, the stately property welcomes you through a gated courtyard and secure entry. Floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows fill the open main level with natural light, highlighting gracious living and spaces ideal for everyday living and entertaining. The updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Carrara marble surfaces, and a casual dining nook. Three bedrooms are located on the main level in addition to a Travertine accented bathroom. Two fireplaces—one in the living room and another in the lower-level media/recreation room—create warm and inviting gathering spaces throughout the home. Lower level also features a 3/4 bathroom, storage and garage access. Step outside to enjoy the private garden with irrigation system, and backyard deck, perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining. An attached two-car deep garage adds convenience. Just blocks from neighborhood shops, the Saturday farmers market, Madison Park Beach, and highly regarded McGilvra Elementary School as well as independent schools. Downtown Seattle, UW and the Eastside only minutes away, this home offers a rare opportunity in one of Seattle’s most coveted neighborhoods.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has been so happy at Garfield! The curriculum and extra curriculars are broad and great, and the teachers are fantastic. He is pushed academically, and I'm confident in the education and opportunity he's receiving, in and out of the classroom. Take a look at the college placement, and you'll get an idea of how good Garfield is. In terms of safety, my son feels very safe in the school, and I'm confident they're addressing the issues surrounding the school.Parent Review9mo ago - McGilvra Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve had two kids at McGilvra Elementary (one who started in 1st grade), and our experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The school community is warm, welcoming, and deeply supportive of students and families alike. The teachers are thoughtful and engaged, and the PTA does an incredible job enriching the school with programs, events, and resources that truly elevate the experience. It’s also just a cute, beautiful campus in the heart of the neighborhood a place our kids genuinely love going to every day.I should also add that the school aftercare program is excellent and well managed. Our kids love going there 2 days a week, get annoyed if we pick them up early, and come home with their homework done.Parent Review4mo ago - Edmonds S. Meany Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is my son's first year of middle school and I was uncertain how the transition from elementary school would go. Despite Meany being a large school my son seems to have adapted to the environment fairly seamlessly. The teachers seem committed and engaged and I can confidently say it has vastly exceeded my expectations. The level of academic rigor seems quite satisfactory, he's learning a lot, has made new friends and without exception they all seem to be great kids. I had a lot of angst about the start of middle school but it's been much more straightforward than I expected.Parent Review1y ago
