Beautifully refreshed for today, this west slope Queen Anne home pairs timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Light-filled living spaces feature warm hardwoods and a dramatic vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams, skylights, accent lighting, and built-in speakers. The updated kitchen opens through French doors to a view deck with a western outlook across Elliott Bay with spectacular sunsets—creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. Updated baths and flexible lower-level space add everyday function. Significant improvements include a new roof, interior & exterior paint and electrical updates. The attached 1-car garage features an EV charger, new concrete slab floor and garage door, plus an additional off-street parking space and easy street parking. Outside, a private front patio surrounded by mature shrubs and greenery feels like a hidden garden retreat. Thoughtfully refreshed landscaping, including a retaining wall and rockery, maximizes the large, fully fenced 5,800-sq.-ft. lot with a level lawn, inviting backyard and a fire-pit gathering area tucked beneath the tree canopy. Remarkably private yet moments from the best of Queen Anne, this is a special in-city retreat with space to live, gather and unwind.
