This property is hitting the market for the first time in over five decades. What was once a Montessori school and foster home is now presenting a rare chance to restore, reimagine, or redevelop.The existing home is rich with timeless character and a functional layout, making it an ideal candidate for a thoughtful renovation. This home has been well maintained over the years resulting in no structural issues today. Upstairs, the attic has been converted into a private studio, complete with its own kitchenette, bathroom, and balcony—perfect for an owner’s suite, guest quarters, or income-producing rental. On the main level you have a living, formal dining, large eat-in kitchen and powder bathroom. Next level up features 4 bedrooms and a full bathroom. One level below the main is a partially finished basement which adds even more flexibility, featuring two additional rooms with above-standard ceiling heights, separate entrance offering valuable livable square footage for additional rental income. This property sits on a generous double lot with mature Grape Vines, three different lilac trees (white, lavender and dark purple), rose bushes. This home is zoned NR3 with subdivision potential.Walkable to Lake Washington and Columbia City.
