A rare Seattle treasure with timeless Craftsman character and extraordinary potential! Built in 1915 and never before sold, this classic Craftsman presents a unique opportunity to restore and reimagine a piece of Seattle history. Ideally located on an iconic corner lot - directly across from Woodland Park and the world-renowned Woodland Park Zoo, this property offers an enviable setting surrounded by some of Seattle's most desirable neighborhoods—Green Lake, Ballard, Fremont, and Greenwood. While the home is in need of TLC and rehabilitation, it offers good bones, classic character, and tremendous potential for the buyer with vision. The main floor - two bedrooms and 1 bath - have been lived in comfortably until July. While there is a full and functioning bath on the lower level, it is not as practical for use until the lower level is remodeled. Bring your imagination and transform this 1915 Craftsman into something extraordinary!
