Charming restoration of this 1916 Craftsman style home w/Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier views. Wood floors throughout the main and upper levels. The spacious first floor includes the chef's kitchen with SS appliances, a large living room w/fireplace, the dining room and a home office. An open staircase leads to the second floor, with the primary suite bedroom/bath, the second bedroom and the 2nd bathroom. The unfinished basement has plenty of room for projects and storage. The home sits nicely above the street for a private feel - secluded rear yard, beautiful landscaping, front and rear decks and a detached garage. Walking distance to Seward Park and Martha Washington Park, on the bus line too.
