Charming craftsman soul meets your modern checklist in this stunning 1922 restoration. If you’ve been searching for that "character" home with serious curb appeal and zero projects, this is it. Inside, the vibe is all about vintage charm: refinished fir floors, rich original mahogany millwork, and leaded glass windows that catch the light just right. While the aesthetic is vintage, the infrastructure is future-proof with a brand-new roof, new chimney, and updated appliances. The kitchen is a total mood, featuring quartz countertops and crisp subway tiles. Keep an eye out for that sweet peek-a-boo view of Mount Rainier—a little mountain magic to start your day. With four bedrooms and two baths, the possibilities are endless. Designate a bright upper-level room for your office and still have plenty of space for a guest sanctuary. The lifestyle extends into a private yard that doubles as your own mini-orchard with pear, fig, and peach trees. When you aren't harvesting fruit, you're minutes from local restaurants, groceries, the library, and vibrant community events. Entirely move-in ready and waiting for its next chapter. Is it yours?
