Two houses! A pristine custom newer build, that has all the character you love in classic homes, and modern conveniences you will deeply appreciate. This is a one-of-a-kind. Truly. Perched above the street, the southern facing windows bring in wonderful year round natural light. With all of the spaces on one floor, an open great room with the kitchen, living, dining, and high ceilings, this house lives large. Stay comfortable year round with energy efficient heat pump heating and cooling. The primary has an ensuite bath and easily accommodates a king bed and a seating area. The surrounding gardens are a fragrant delight, they have been well considered and tended to. They are lovely while being low maintenance. The home alone will blow you away but guess what!? The original early 1900's home has been restored and is now a darling guest cottage with cedar walls and ceilings, a charming kitchen, a bathroom that feels like a primary bath in a large home, and an expansive covered terrace. A parcel from the street to the alley where there is a garage and a carport. Just a short stroll up the street is Alling Park with a breathtaking view of Rainier, play space, and a lovely green area with wide open sky. This is a very special homestead that was tastefully curated by a Seller who loved this place, made it welcoming for all, and made impeccable choices. You will be so grateful to make this your home and be the next steward of this exceptional property in a charming neighborhood.
