What's special
Timeless architecture and remarkable scale come together in this stately North Capitol Hill residence. Built in 1913 and spanning 8,010 square feet, this 5-bedroom home showcases its original craftsmanship throughout. A grand foyer and sweeping staircase create an impressive first impression. The exceptional living room features a wood-burning fireplace and opens to a sunroom overlooking Lake Washington, while the stately dining room offers an elegant setting for gatherings. Upstairs, the second level includes a dedicated office and two spacious en-suite bedrooms. The primary suite is highlighted by a private deck spanning the width of the room, framing beautiful water views. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms and a billiard room. On the lower level, historic scale gives way to an unexpected entertaining space. Once a basketball court, the expansive ballroom now serves as a vibrant wine and music lounge, complemented by a wine cellar and abundant storage. Set along one of North Capitol Hill’s premier tree-lined streets, the home offers a rare combination of historic character, quiet residential surroundings, and easy access to the energy of Capitol Hill. A truly distinctive Seattle legacy home.
