Built in 1921 and impeccably maintained, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath Montlake bungalow enjoys an exceptional setting bordering the UW Arboretum. Verdant landscaping frames the home and leads to a peaceful backyard with a beautiful connection to the surrounding greenery. Inside, light-filled living and dining rooms create inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining, while the remodeled kitchen with eating nook brings a fresh, modern touch. Two comfortable bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. The mostly finished lower level adds valuable flexibility with a utility room, rec room, office and tons of storage. A rare driveway and detached garage provide coveted off-street parking - an especially valuable feature in Montlake. Enjoy the Arboretum just beyond the backyard, with trails and gardens nearby, plus shops and eateries just moments away. Easy access to the University of Washington, UW Medical Center, light rail, downtown Seattle and major commuter routes.
