About this home
Live one block from Lake Washington and enjoy sunrise paddleboarding, bike rides along the boulevard, and evenings around the fire pit, with bald eagles a frequent sight overhead. Perched above the street on a private 7,200 sq ft corner lot, this 1944 brick bungalow offers views of the lake and mountains. Out back: flagstone paths, a grape arbor, a BBQ patio, a fire pit, and a hot tub, all screened by a tall cedar fence and laurels. Alley access and a detached garage make the yard feel especially secluded. Inside, freshly refinished hardwoods flow through an easy circular plan: a fireplace living room, a bay-window dining room, and a kitchen with a gas range, stainless appliances, and French doors that swing open to let the lake breeze run front to back. Off the living room, a sunny study with heated floors makes a quiet spot to read or unwind. Remodeled in 2024, the lower level is its own retreat: a cool, quiet primary suite with a 3/4 bath, plus laundry and a separate-entrance bonus room for a mud room, gym, studio, or office. The big-ticket work is done: high-efficiency furnace, updated electrical and plumbing, relined sewer. Room to grow, too: a previous owner explored a DADU over the garage and a second story, and plans for both are available (buyer to verify feasibility). Enjoy brunch at Both Ways Cafe and pizza at Aslan Brewing, explore Seward Park's old-growth trails, and reach Columbia City, Mt Baker, Leschi, and I-90 in minutes.
