Property Description
Even when you're inside, you're kind of outside. Natural light pours through abundant wood windows, framing the surrounding gardens. Every room borrows from the landscape. This thoughtfully updated 1941 bungalow lives far larger than its footprint suggests, with warm, timeless spaces that flow effortlessly from indoors to out. Every improvement reflects an appreciation for craftsmanship over trends-from the custom kitchen and radiant in-floor heat to the detached studio equally suited for creative work, a home office, or quiet retreat. Extensive updates to the home's electrical, plumbing, windows, and heating systems provide confidence behind the walls, while the original 1941 bathroom remains a charming reminder that some things simply don't need improving. Just moments from Seward Park, Lake Washington, Columbia City's vibrant restaurants and shops, and light rail, this is a home that feels both deeply connected to its surroundings and wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life.
