Set high above the street to maximize privacy and views of Mt Rainier, downtown, Alki, and the Olympics, this reverse-floor plan home is full of endearing details. The entry level has a lovely entrance space, with hardwood flooring and built in bookcases, with access to the large primary bedroom and its romantic fireplace, more built in-book cases, plus a walk-through closet to the primary bath with a Jacuzzi tub and separate shower. A recent remodel created two mid-sized bedrooms on the entry level as well, along with a shared bath with a walk-in shower. The top floor is the magic of the house. It has a European feel with a cathedral ceiling, an antique fireplace, a soapstone kitchen island counter, a spacious dining room, plus a fourth bedroom that can also be used as an office or a den, and a dumbwaiter - and views in all directions. The lowest level has a game room with a 3rd fireplace, a laundary room, and garage access -with lots of potential for additional bedrooms or perhaps a home theater. The enchanting fenced backyard has a bearing apple tree and blooming flowers and herbs most of the year. New furnace, appliances, and roof since 2020. Electrical and plumbing updated. Great schools! Express buses nearby into Seattle and various hospitals and colleges/universities. Beautiful neighborhood with fabulous neighbors. You'll love calling this gem "home."
