SUMMARY
Built by Alchemy Design Build, known for thoughtful architecture and craftsmanship. This design-forward Crown Hill cottage proves great design beats extra square footage. Real sand-on-site oak hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings are a rare pairing at this size and price point—details usually reserved for much larger luxury homes. The open plan flows from a streamlined chef's kitchen into bright living and dining spaces made for casual dinners, cozy hosting, or a solo reset. Upstairs offers two serene bedrooms and a beautifully outfitted full bath. Fresh finishes, ductless mini-split heating, and energy recovery ventilation round out a home built to live well. Dedicated parking with EV charging on select homes. Enjoy easy access to Crown Hill's culinary scene, parks, and transit—minutes from Ballard's farmers market or local bistros and taprooms. Small House. Big Life. *Ask about our Buyer Advantage Program - 1% Buyer Credits Available for Rate Buydown & Closing Costs.
