Description

A rare Magnolia gem, this 1924 Craftsman is one of the neighborhood’s few remaining homes of its era—and a beautiful example of timeless character and thoughtful design. Original details have been lovingly preserved while modernizing, creating a warm and inviting home with a sense of history. Classic craftsmanship shows, with gorgeous hardwood floors, high ceilings, detailed millwork, a cozy fireplace, and an abundance of windows that fill the home with natural light. Generously sized day rooms provide gracious spaces for everyday life and entertaining on an intimate or grand scale. The welcoming kitchen offers a functional layout with new appliances and a casual dining sunroom, a natural gathering space for meals, conversation, and morning coffee. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms, graced with views of Puget Sound and Seattle from their many windows. All three feature rich hardwoods and walk-in closets, and share a remodeled full bath, creating a private and peaceful retreat. The lower level expands the possibilities with a large guest suite, media or rec room, home office space, laundry, and ample storage—ideal for guests, hobbies, play, relaxing, or flexible living arrangements. Set on a generous 6,987-square-foot lot, with a garage, this special home is just a short stroll from parks, the village, and schools (Magnolia Elementary). Commutes from here are easy-you’re just blocks from the Magnolia bridge, with access to transit options. All the best of Seattle living!
