Timeless charm, elevated style, and priceless peace of mind, with a Walk Score of 97! Perched on a quiet, cherry-blossomed stretch of 12th Ave NE, this 1909 home is in the middle of it all - walk to Light Rail, Green Lake, UW. Cheerful street presence gives way to a generous, light-filled living room centered on a custom fireplace and built-ins ready for your favorite books, art, and treasures. Dining room is sumptuous with custom millwork complementing the original built-ins—equally suited to holiday dinners and Tuesday night takeout. The kitchen is designed for real life and serious cooking, with none of the trendy bling that dates quickly. Natural stone countertops, wood cabinetry, induction cooking, heated floors, prep sink, and seemingly endless counter space mean this kitchen will work beautifully for decades to come. A whimsical flex room with updated ensuite bath rounds out the main floor. Upstairs, 3 beautiful bedrooms feature refinished fir floors and remarkably generous closets. The sunny full bath is design-mag ready. Backyard cottage presents many possibilities: enviable WFH setup, guest quarters, rental income, or au pair space. Add off-street parking with EV charger, fully fenced yard, and a lovely outdoor entertaining area, and check those boxes! Unfinished basement w/good ceiling height offers future possibilities. Big ticket work is done: updated electrical, plumbing, windows, EQ retrofit, fully lined sewer, new furnace and more.
