Discover a rare north Capitol Hill retreat where timeless craftsmanship, refined style & exceptional privacy come together in a truly distinctive 1903 Craftsman. Located on a quiet tree lined street, beautifully cared for woodwork, thoughtful renovations, and carefully curated details create an inviting sense of sanctuary. The circular floor plan starts with a formal entry with built-in coat alcove, and wood burning fireplace with curly maple mantle. A light-filled living room connects to a versatile library-style office, while the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen with a six-burner Wolf range, breakfast bar and a built-in Miele espresso maker. The main level also features a dining room, full bath, Bird's eye maple floors and built-ins throughout. Upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom with half bath, second bed room with ample closet space & a full bath showcasing exceptional tile work. The lower level provides an extra living space, laundry, multiple storage areas & a 3/4 bath. Stepping outside, the beautifully designed grounds create a private urban oasis- garden space, Pennsylvania bluestone, an IPE deck, koi pond and custom built storage outbuilding. Last, but not least, a mural from Seattle's own Henry welcomes you to your private driveway. A rare offering, this exceptional Craftsman pairs the character of its 1903 origins with modern living—all in an idyllic, private setting.
