About this House

What's unique:Updated kitchenWrapped in mature landscapingWarm hardwood floorsOriginal millworkLeaded-glass windows
Perched high above the street and wrapped in mature landscaping, this classic Capitol Hill Craftsman strikes a rare balance of privacy, personality, and incredible in-city convenience while putting the best of Seattle right outside your door. Inside, the updated kitchen makes a memorable statement (with slate countertops repurposed from the original blackboards of Garfield High School) as it opens seamlessly to generous spaces filled with Craftsman character: original millwork, warm hardwood floors, leaded-glass windows, and a picture-perfect window seat made for lingering with a book or morning coffee. The flexible layout delivers three bedrooms plus a vibey parlor, while the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen configuration makes everyday life and entertaining feel effortless. Two alley-access parking spaces add a coveted dose of convenience, and downstairs, the unfinished basement offers abundant storage and plenty of room to imagine the next chapter. Ideally located just minutes from the Pike/Pine corridor, Madison Park, Washington Park Arboretum, and the University of Washington, with multiple transit options nearby and easy access to SR 520 for Eastside commuters, this is a distinctive home in a prime Capitol Hill setting, with character you can’t recreate and potential you can shape. Come and welcome this special Seattle home to its next chapter.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 99% nearby.
