Location! Perfectly positioned at the crown of Capitol Hill just two blocks east of Volunteer Park and SAAM, this well maintained 1905 Victorian enjoys a quiet vantage point where morning light spills across the kitchen and views stretch to the Cascades and Lake Washington. From the elevated back deck, the garden unfolds below like a private English courtyard, complete with a crushed-rock path, gentle water feature, and mature plantings that have had years to settle into their rhythm. The kitchen renovation was guided by a simple philosophy: more light, more view, more livability. Windows now wrap three sides of the kitchen sitting area, framing greenery and sky at every turn. A generous island anchors the space, while a walk-in pantry, laundry area and powder room make daily routines feel effortless. On the main floor, living and dining flow openly into one another, with a cozy sitting area that invites conversation, reading, or keeping an eye on little ones at play. Upstairs, three bedrooms and a garden-facing office offer flexibility and the luxury of dedicated work-from-home space. A full bath and several hall closets round out the level with thoughtful practicality. Below, the unfinished basement offers the kind of adaptable square footage every household appreciates—ideal for storage, a workshop, or future creative use. The home is timeless yet updated where it matters, offering the charm of another era with the ease of modern living.
