Property Description
This enchanting 1922 Craftsman cottage blends timeless character with thoughtful updates in the heart of Green Lake living. A beautiful vintage Batchelder fireplace anchors the living room, creating a warm and welcoming gathering space. Sunlight pours into the cheerful breakfast nook, where mornings begin slowly before a stroll to your favorite café. Afternoons invite paddleboarding, swimming, or jogging at Green Lake, meeting friends for pickleball, or relaxing in the many nearby parks. As evening settles, the fully fenced backyard becomes a private retreat-perfect for gardening, pets, entertaining, and starry summer nights around the fire. The flexible floorplan offers two bedrooms on the main level, two small rooms upstairs, and an additional bedroom in the basement- a floorplan ideal for guests, home office space, or multigenerational living. The unfinished lower level presents future expansion potential and room to build equity. A detached garage, off-street parking, provides extra storage and everyday ease. The kitchen pairs historic charm with modern style, featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a charming breakfast nook. Freshly painted sage green hardwoods and newly installed interior French doors add a cohesive designer touch and create flexible spaces. Just blocks to cafés, pubs, parks, schools, and the vibrant energy of Green Lake, Greenwood, and Phinney Ridge - this is classic Seattle living at its best.
