Nestled on an idyllic street across from historic Holy Names Academy, this is a rare find in such a unique location. 75+ years of ownership provides the backdrop of a bygone era in functional craftsmanship, lasting quality details, and a genuine love for "home."

The current layout affords formal 2 bed/1 bath living on each level with autonomous access. Generous kitchens with ample cabinets, formal dining rooms with fireplaces, and generous amounts of natural light & Southern sun exposure. Original flooring and millwork showcase the care the home has experienced. The unfinished basement affords the possibility to expand and add a 3rd unit, subject to City of Seattle zoning and permitting. A versatile workshop is ideal for the green thumb, gardening, art studio, or other creative uses. Meticulously maintained grounds exemplify the care of the property and stewardship of this iconic setting. Mature trees, plantings, and a fenced yard are comforting the moment you arrive, with plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors. Alley carport parking.
