Elevated above the street for a true sense of sanctuary, this Magnolia residence offers a refreshing departure from the ordinary. The interior is defined by a light-filled, airy floor plan where traditional charm meets modern efficiency, highlighted by an updated kitchen with a cozy breakfast nook and a primary-level suite designed for privacy. Entertainers will love the seamless transition through French doors to the secluded, partially covered deck—a perfect vantage point to enjoy a backyard framed by the neighborhood’s famous "tapestry" of seasonal color. The lower level adds versatile depth to the home, featuring a warm rec room anchored by a gas fireplace and a stylishly remodeled bath. Living here means trading cookie-cutter aesthetics for a neighborhood of architectural character and world-class landscaping. Whether it’s the cherry blossoms of spring or the fiery hues of autumn, the surroundings feel like a curated garden. The location strikes a rare balance: you are minutes from the rugged trails of Discovery Park and the maritime energy of the Ballard Locks, yet close enough to the "Village" to stroll for your morning pastry or a grocery run to Metropolitan Market. With a commute that avoids the I-5 gridlock and easy access to SLU and Downtown, this home is a peaceful, neighborhood friendly retreat that keeps the best of Seattle right at your fingertips.
