Perched above Lake Washington at a quiet street end, this thoughtfully-designed home in the Seward Park neighborhood strikes the perfect balance between clean architectural lines and everyday comfort. Built in 1957 and beautifully reimagined with a second-story addition in 2004, it has been meticulously maintained by the same owner for nearly 30 years. Abundant natural light and spectacular views of the lake and park pour through the striking windows into the living area, anchored by a stunning gas fireplace and flowing seamlessly into the dining and kitchen spaces. Outside, the back patio and Japanese-inspired garden create a peaceful urban escape. Two bedrooms on the main floor offer flexibility for guests or a home office space, while the upper level is dedicated to a serene primary suite and bonus space that opens to a south-facing deck. Above it all, a separate green rooftop deck offers exquisite views of the lake, Seward Park, and Mt. Rainier. A detached garage is plumbed for a future bath with an on-demand water heater and electrical capacity for an EV charger or hot tub. The generously-sized driveway offers ample parking for multiple cars and even an adventure van. Just blocks away are great local shops and restaurants while Seward Park and the vibrant Columbia City neighborhood are just a short distance away. This location delivers the best of Seattle living: a quiet, welcoming street paired with easy access to nature, light rail, downtown Seattle, and the Eastside.
