One block from Magnolia Playfield & two from the Village, this renovated 1939 Craftsman pairs a 4BR/4BA main residence with a 2024 custom-built 2BR/2BA Guest House. Two front doors, two attached garages, one quiet green corner of Seattle. Main home runs roughly 3,000 sq ft across 4 bedrooms & 4 baths. Craftsman character carries through light filled living spaces & 2 covered porch balconies looking out over the treetops of inner Magnolia. There is room to spread out: a home office, a kitchen built around a commercial-grade gas range, & a finished lower level with its own exterior entry, a rec room for the loud hours & a dedicated wine room. Primary Suite is a retreat unto itself, with dual closets, a spa-inspired 5-piece bath remodeled in 2022, & a SW-facing deck that holds the long NW evening light. The systems are done. A heat pump went in during 2022, so the house stays cool through August heat & filtered when the smoke rolls in. New sewer line in 2021, new roof and hot water tank in 2025, garage wired for EV charging. Pre-inspected. The unglamorous work is behind you. Then there is the back house. Purpose-built in 2024, roughly 1,000 sq ft, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, its own attached garage & pad off the alley. Rental ready from day one. Fill it how you see fit. The yard is a block away & the city mows it. Magnolia Playfield sits at the end of the street, coffee & dinner are 2 blocks & Discovery Park is mere minutes out. Two beautiful homes. One exceptional Magnolia property!
