This beautifully preserved 1925 Craftsman sits on a generous, level lot and offers a rare blend of character, flexibility, and opportunity. Inside, original wood floors and trim pair seamlessly with thoughtful updates and a flowing floorplan centered around a spacious kitchen. The home’s layout supports multigenerational living, with a separate entrance basement, second kitchen, and a private back room that has seen strong short-term rental success. A brand new roof adds peace of mind, while the large detached garage/shop invites future redevelopment. Surrounded by mature trees and greenery, the property feels private and serene - yet it’s just steps to light rail, across from a playfield and community center, and blocks to Lake Washington.
