This home offers not just a place to live, but a way to live – with quiet creativity, connection to nature, and an invitation to slow down and enjoy each season as it unfolds. It lives larger than its footprint suggests. Built by craftspeople for those who long for quality, thoughtful details, and a sense of soul. A warm, timeless interior flows to peaceful outdoor spaces and a detached studio ideal for art, work, or private escape. Major updates to all systems: electrical, plumbing, windows, radiant heat. Located in one of Seattle’s most beloved neighborhoods, moments from Lake Washington, Seward Park, Columbia City shops and dining, and the light rail. A home crafted with intention, nestled in natural beauty and everyday convenience.
