Property Description
Discover the rare architectural achievement of this 1920's Colonial meticulously reborn with of-the-moment finishes. This University Heights masterpiece underwent a comprehensive studs-out remodel in 2020 executed with a singular vision: to preserve the home's storied exterior presence while recreating its original craftsmanship using the finest modern materials for the interior. The renovation blends period-accurate and high-end millwork and fixtures throughout. The heart of the home is a chef-designed kitchen featuring custom inset cabinetry, Carrara marble and state-of-the-art appliances. French doors off the dining room lead to a sun-drenched, west-facing composite deck overlooking a private, fenced backyard with turfed lawn. Upstairs is an ideal layout with two bedrooms sharing a full bathroom plus a large ensuite primary bedroom with walk-in closet. The fully finished basement features custom built-ins, a spacious living and play area, an additional bedroom, three-quarter bathroom, utility room and tons of storage. The detached garage can park two large cars or offer additional flex space or storage. While the aesthetic is classic, the construction, systems and fixtures are cutting-edge. Prime location blocks from the University of Washington as well as walkable parks, coffee shops, restaurants and grocery stores. This home offers the timeless presence of a classic Seattle estate with the peace of mind of new construction infrastructure and finishes.
