Capitol Hill Craftsman // An exemplary 1905 classic, masterfully renovated with respect for its architectural integrity, period detail and historic charm, while comprehensively updated for contemporary living. Ideally positioned in North Capitol Hill, just two blocks from 15th Avenue shops and three blocks from Volunteer Park, 716 15th Avenue E pairs authentic Seattle architecture with sophisticated stewardship and an exceptionally livable floor plan. Behind its handsome shingled façade, broad eaves and welcoming covered porch, the home reveals craftsmanship of another era. Rich millwork, paneled walls and ceilings, leaded and art glass, substantial columns, built-in cabinetry, window seats, hardwood floors create architectural depth rarely replicated today. A gracious central stair hall organizes the main level, where living room, library and dining room retain their individual character while flowing naturally together—formal when desired, yet comfortable for everyday living. The kitchen and breakfast room provide a lighter, more casual counterpoint, opening toward the garden and creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. Covered and open-air terraces, mature gardens, layered landscaping and a fire-pit courtyard form a series of private outdoor rooms for three-season living and entertaining. Extensive hardscape, landscape lighting, irrigation and drainage have been thoughtfully integrated throughout, creating a remarkably complete urban garden setting.
