These are the landmark addresses, where those who buy, stay (44 years, in this case). But it's not just the address. You can feel a good house. One that knows how to shelter its people, hosting them with warmth and quiet solidity through all the seasons of their lives. Outside, this stately 1908 Tudor Revival sits squarely on its over-sized lot on one of Capitol Hill's finest legacy streets. Inside, surprises await. Remarkably light and airy, the home has generous rooms, large windows and extensive, finely painted woodwork. At the front, original formal day rooms and a grand entry, with an elegant staircase rising to the 2nd floor mezzanine. To the rear, the home's casual side emerges, with a big, open kitchen/family room ringed with windows opening onto the private rear patio and gardens. Upstairs, find views of Lake Washington and the Cascades, large corner bedrooms, a vintage barrel-vaulted, fully tiled primary bath, skylit family lounge and several bonus spaces. The unfinished basement offers acres of dry storage, laundry and potential. An enormous 2-car garage with 11' ceilings, flooded with natural light, will easily accommodate vehicles, kayaks and projects. “Now this is the kind of house you want,” our pickiest inspector kept saying. Built solid, it was top-of-the-line when new, made to last, and well maintained ever since...with many quality updates along the way. It's a structure worthy of the investments that will take it another 120 years into the future.
