About this House

This stately Dutch colonial on a truly special street lined with cherry trees in North Capitol Hill retains the character of its past while offering the modern amenities of today. A driveway leads to a covered front porch and gracious foyer where classic and well-preserved details unfold: zinc mullioned windows, hardwood floors and original millwork. The spacious living room is to your right with windows on three sides, oversized fireplace and double doors to a covered porch. To your left is the dining room. Plenty of space for living and entertaining here. The powder room and first-floor den/office are straight ahead. Large, updated chef’s kitchen with clerestory windows and French doors open to the sunny and tranquil deck and backyard. This is where summers in Seattle were meant to be spent. The open, grand stairwell passes by large stained-glass windows to four spacious bedrooms, each with abundant natural light, along with a full bath and linen closet. The expansive lower-level hosts laundry, the second full bath, and family room, along with substantial space waiting for your ideas to become reality. Maybe a home gym or TV room? There’s also direct access to the backyard. Modern updates include solar panels, newer roof and a heat pump with updated electrical panel. Close to Volunteer Park and with easy access to downtown, SLU, and UW, this special home is set to be loved for another generation. Don’t miss your chance, the last family enjoyed for over 60 years!
