    What's special

    Powder roomDouble-pane windowsBright window-wrapped flex roomOriginal hardwoods
    This classic 1922 Craftsman in upper Rainier Beach has plenty of space, great bones, and major upside for a buyer with some vision. The primary finished residence spans 2,830 square feet, centered around an open living, dining, and kitchen area detailed with original hardwoods. Branching off this central hub, one side of the home features a powder room and convenient bedroom with a full en-suite bath, while the opposite side hosts a bright, window-wrapped flex room. Upstairs, new laminate flooring flows through 2 additional oversized bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a connected sunroom. Some heavy lifting on the big systems is already done: solar panels in 2022, a new boiler in 2019, a new roof in 2017, plus updated copper plumbing and double-pane windows. What makes this property a unique opportunity is the sheer amount of extra space—bringing the total footprint under the roof to over 4,800 square feet. The basement features its own outside entrances, a full bath, and a 3/4 bath. It was previously configured into two separate living spaces, and remnants of old bedroom framing and two kitchenettes are still in place. It is a blank canvas with the plumbing and layout foundations already there to build out a home gym, workshop, or guest quarters. Above it all, a huge walk-up attic offers even more storage or room to expand. This is a premier opportunity to add custom updates to a historic home and build serious equity along the way. *some photos are virtually staged*
