Custom-built, authentic Mid-Century gem with architectural integrity and preserved retro charm. Set on a residential dead-end street, this home sits up high on a rare, double-wide 10,200 sq ft lot in the established Upper Rainier Beach neighborhood. Open space and light surround this impeccably maintained and updated home where pride of ownership threads through its 1959 roots to today. Every effort has been made to care for the original character while big cost upgrades add real value like the brand new roof/gutters, new water heater, new dishwasher, installation of exterior sewer cleanout and elegantly painted interior walls. Quality is felt throughout from the large covered porch to the statement fireplaces on both floors to the generously sized living and dining rooms warm with western exposure light and delightful territorial views. A spacious kitchen with big picture window & eating space open to a private patio overlooking the oversized yard full of potential. Three bedrooms & two baths complete the main level. The full height daylight basement is primed for expansion with over 1,000 sq ft of possibility (already plumbed for a 3rd bathroom). Enjoy a 2-car garage with extra storage & ample driveway space and amazing walking proximity to Kubota Garden (and Redwing Cafe), Lake Washington, the library, community center and Chief Sealth Trail. Excellent bus service and easy commute both north and south with 1-5 just minutes away. Original house plans available!
