Property is new construction or fully renovated.
This 1926 Craftsman has been extensively renovated within the last 5 years, featuring a brand-new high-efficiency furnace, newer windows, fresh paint, and new flooring and carpet throughout. The kitchens are updated with stainless steel appliances, including a six-burner gas range in the main house and a fully modern setup in the ADU. The property is in turnkey condition with modern fixtures and no visible deferred maintenance.
The property features a versatile basement with a potential rental studio or MIL/ADU, complete with a separate exterior entrance and full kitchen, offering excellent house-hacking or passive income opportunities.
Located in the highly desirable PhinneyWood area, the home boasts a high walkability factor to local shops and restaurants, with convenient transit access to South Lake Union and Downtown Seattle.
This 1926 Craftsman maintains its original charm with coved ceilings and a hand-cast tile fireplace while offering modern peace of mind through a brand-new high-efficiency furnace and newer windows.
The 3,120 square foot lot is relatively small for the area, which limits private outdoor space and may feel constrained for buyers prioritizing a large backyard.
Although the property includes a rare off-street parking space, a single spot may prove insufficient for a multi-generational household or a property intended for rental use.
Classic Phinney Ridge charm meets modern flexibility in this thoughtfully updated 1926 Craftsman. The welcoming front porch leads into a light-filled living room with coved ceilings, anchored by an original hand-cast tile fireplace. Two spacious bedrooms and an updated full bath. Kitchen, with stainless appliances, a six-burner gas range, and dining space, features a Dutch door that opens to a sun-drenched backyard, ideal for summer entertaining and late-night campfires. The versatile basement functions as an excellent office, media room, or guest suite, with laundry and a half bath. And here's where it gets interesting: a potential rental studio or MIL / ADU with its own exterior entrance, full kitchen, three-quarter bath, and washer/dryer. House-hack homeownership, host extended guests, or just turn on rental income whenever you want, like during the World Cup this summer! Fresh paint and carpet, newer windows and flooring, and a brand-new high-efficiency furnace. Rare off-street parking space. A short walk to all that Phinney Ridge and Greenwood have to offer: some of the best shops, bars, and restaurants in Seattle. Easy access to transportation, South Lake Union, and downtown. Charming, turnkey, and full of possibilities. Do not miss this unique PhinneyWood gem!
