336 N 74th St, Seattle, WA 98103

Charming craftsman home walking distance to everything--Green Lake, Woodland Park Zoo, the delightful Phinney Ridge neighborhood filled with fun shops and eateries. This 1918 bungalow retains its historic character: rich dark woodwork, built-in sideboard and bookcases with leaded glass doors, beamed ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, vintage wallpaper and light fixtures. Enjoy a formal dining room--perfect for entertaining--and a wood-burning fireplace for cozy winter fires. The spacious kitchen boasts a new Bosch dishwasher, butcher block, European tile work, and a sitting nook overlooking the tidy, fenced back yard--ideal for private BBQ's. A freshly restored main bathroom nestles between two bedrooms--the master with a walk-in closet. Downstairs the daylight, finished basement features lots of wide-open space for an entertainment or work-out area, a bonus room for an office or guest bedroom, bath, laundry facilities, a brand new energy-efficient gas furnace with smart thermostat, and tons of storage. In front of this recently painted house is an enclosed sun porch; in back sits a 2-car detached garage with alley entrance. While living in a quiet, single-family neighborhood of homeowners, appreciate easy access to Highway 99, I-5, or walk just 2 blocks to catch the bus to South Lake Union and downtown. I am looking for stable, long-term tenants who will take good care of my former home, which has only become available for rent twice in the last 15 years! "What I loved about living here: the great neighbors and sense of community, including the 'alley parties,' never having to get in a car to jog around the lake, grab last-minute dinner fixin's at Ken's Market, get a can of paint from Ace Hardware, or meet a friend at the 74th Street Ale House; hopping the #5 to see live theater or the symphony downtown just 15 minutes away; growing plants or fresh veggies in the sun porch or back yard; and, of course, what drew me to this particular craftsman in the first place--being surrounded by natural wood that had escaped the trend of being painted over." Available June 1. One year minimum lease. Tenant pays for utilities/electric/gas, and maintains lawn/gardens. First, last, and security deposit, which can be paid over 6-months. Cats or small dogs will be considered on a case by case basis with refundable pet deposit and references. No smokers. Shown by appointment only in respect of current tenants. Phone number is land line (no texts). Contact property owner for link to a video tour.
