A block from Green Lake this home has a commanding presence at the base of the hill. Although thoroughly updated, this historic home maintains its heritage. The main floor is designed for entertaining. The original living room and dining room are gracious and open, with pocket doors to separate the two. The main entry has a picturesque staircase to the second floor with stain glassed window on the landing. There's a main floor office, opulent high-end kitchen with attached family room. There is even a powder room.

The back yard is a progressive experience starting with a large covered back porch extending along the full back of the house. Drenched with sunlight, it is elevated above the garden-like back yard. Descend into the yard and enjoy dinner under the grape vine draped trellis, or take a dip in the secluded hot tub. The 2 car garage and additional off street parking space along the alley creating a perfect buffer from the neighbors.

Upstairs

The living quarters are upstairs where you will find four bedrooms. The front bedroom is built in the turret and has an octagonal pattern inlaid in the cherry flooring. The Main bath has been restored with vintage lighting, heritage fixtures and custom marble tile work. Peek-a-boo views of the Olympics await you in the Master suite, as well as vaulted ceilings and a walk in closet. The master also has adjoining sun room with fire place and Mt. Rainier views. The on-suite bath has a corner soaking tub, separate glass enclosed shower and custom tile work throughout.

Lower Level

The lower level starts with the bonus room, currently used as a media center. The Washer/Dryer location is there as well with a studio apartment at the end of the hall. The house is a legal duplex, so of course the studio could be rented out. However there are other options such as a 5th bedroom, guest suite, nanny's quarters, home office, or even a rec. room. It should be noted that the owner is working on final sign off for the permits on the duplex unit.

Zoned L1 the lot could be subdivided. This would allow for the creation of a carriage or guest house along the alley. Between the fantastic location and the many uses for this home, there is really nothing else like it on the market today.
