Property Description
Perched on a quiet street at the top of Queen Anne, this 1915 Pacific Northwest classic blends charm and flexibility. The street ends at a neighborhood park, creating a peaceful enclave just blocks from cafés, shops, and everyday bustle. Inside, original turn-of-the- century details shine-oak and doug fir floors, high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and generous living spaces. A thoughtful rear addition adds a light-filled primary suite with vaulted ceilings, expansive glass doors, maple floors, hand-blown glass fixtures, and a crow's-nest bedroom with lovely territorial views. Downstairs, a one-bedroom apartment offers ideal space for guests, extended stays, or income potential. With the option to convert the addition into a third unit, this duplex could become a triplex. One-car garage plus alley-access art studio. A home with history, flexibility, and room to evolve-classic Queen Anne living, ready for its next chapter.
