Glorious oak and fir floors glow throughout, leading you into a classic bungalow kitchen where original built-ins blend seamlessly with brand-new appliances — the perfect blend of vintage soul and everyday function. Anchoring the living space is an original fireplace adorned with stunning Batchelder-style tile, a true period centerpiece that captures the home's 1920s craftsmanship.New living room picture windows flood the home with natural light, paired with a striking new front door that welcomes you home in style. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated: new lighting throughout, fresh carpet and vinyl flooring in the basement, a new roof, and a rebuilt chimney mean true peace of mind for years to come. Outside, refreshed landscaping frames the home beautifully, while the large NR3-zoned lot opens the door to future possibilities including room to build a DADU plus convenient alley access.The location is hard to beat. Just blocks from Greenwood's vibrant stretch of restaurants, cafes, and neighborhood gathering spots like Trader Joes,Fortuna,Ben's Bread and Chuck's Hop Shop. Downtown Seattle is a quick drive, and public transit is right around the corner for easy daily commuting.A rare opportunity to own a piece of history, move-in ready, full of original character, and positioned in one of the city's most connected and beloved neighborhoods.
