Sited proudly on one of Seattle's most desirable streets, this grand residence is a once-in-a-lifetime property awaiting its next steward. Steps from Kerry Park and set on a rare flat Queen Anne lot, the location is truly unmatched. The Olympic Mountains, Elliott Bay, the Space Needle, and cityscape stretch out before you - the kind of iconic view only seen on postcards. Step inside to a soaring formal living room where the skyline fills dramatic two-story windows and opens out to a large view terrace. The spacious primary suite highlights sweeping views and terrace access, and is alongside two additional bedrooms on the main level. One floor up, the great room enjoys jaw dropping southern views and flows into a spacious kitchen and formal dining room. The lower level guest suite offers a full kitchen, bathroom and bedroom - ideal for guests or multigenerational living. A showstopping wine cellar anchors it all. Outside, the grounds feel like a secret garden: mature landscaping, a stately magnolia tree, brick pathways, and a tucked-away gazebo. Well-maintained and ready for its next chapter, this residence offers an extraordinary opportunity to make your mark on of Seattle’s most celebrated streets!
