There’s so much more here than you can see from the street. Elevated above it, this 1906 home feels surprisingly removed from the city around it. High ceilings, refinished fir floors and generous windows give the main level an easy openness, with western views to the Olympic Mountains. Two bedrooms and a full bath keep daily life on one level; the updated kitchen adds modern function while honoring the house it belongs to. Then there’s the backyard. Morning coffee on the deck. Lunch in the garden. Another spot for the last of the evening sun. The mostly native landscape has grown and evolved over decades, with mature trees, informal paths, tucked away places to sit, and no lawn to mow. Even the chicken coop was built to feel like it belongs here. Downstairs, another 860 SF makes room for movies, hobbies, projects, and storage. And while home feels tucked away, you’re right in the middle of Phinney, Ballard, Fremont and Greenwood. For nearly 30 years, its owners have cared for this place with an eye toward what the house needed, what belonged here + what was worth preserving. They thought about making it bigger. Turns out, they liked it just the way it was.
