Set in a fantastic location just steps from West Montlake Park’s waterfront walking trail, this home awaits with peek-a-boo Portage Bay views. Bring your vision to its historic 1919 interiors with period details like wainscoting, hardwood floors, and mullioned windows. Open gathering spaces flow to the eat-in kitchen and out to the deck and patio. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. Head upstairs to the primary bedroom with vaulted ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, wrap-around windows framing a sparkling water vista, and private balcony also enjoying the view. A fourth bedroom plus bonus loft provide space for everyone, while the unfinished basement offers even more potential for storage or future flex-space. Don’t miss the detached 2-car garage, too! This is a special opportunity to craft the home of your dreams in a neighborhood of upscale houses adjacent to the Seattle Yacht Club. Minutes from the University of Washington, Seattle Children’s, the Arboretum, and Broadmoor Golf Club.
