This home is built for the rhythms of real life – busy mornings, quiet evenings, and everything in between. Multiple gathering spaces. Upstairs loft. Main-floor office. Room for you to spread out, come together, work, unwind, and host with ease. A floor plan that adapts beautifully as life changes. The oversized great room is ideal for movie nights and holiday celebrations, while the kitchen naturally becomes the heart of the home – featuring a generous island, walk-in pantry, butler’s pantry, and double convection ovens. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a private retreat complete with cozy fireplace, walk-in closet and spa-inspired bath. Behind the scenes, thoughtful upgrades – owned solar, Tesla Powerwalls, a Trane dual-fuel HVAC system with integrated heat pump, Ethernet wiring, EV charging, and added sound insulation – deliver the kind of comfort, efficiency, and resilience you’ll appreciate every day. Seasonal mountain and fireworks views, nearby parks and trails, Northshore schools, and easy access to Canyon Park. Thoughtfully designed and meticulously engineered, this home is easy to love and even easier to live in – flexible, comfortable, and ready for whatever comes next.

Even when you're inside, you're kind of outside. Natural light pours through abundant wood windows, framing the surrounding gardens. Every room borrows from the landscape. This thoughtfully updated 1941 bungalow lives far larger than its footprint suggests, with warm, timeless spaces that flow effortlessly from indoors to out. Every improvement reflects an appreciation for craftsmanship over trends—from the custom kitchen and radiant in-floor heat to the detached studio equally suited for creative work, a home office, or quiet retreat. Extensive updates to the home's electrical, plumbing, windows, and heating systems provide confidence behind the walls, while the original 1941 bathroom remains a charming reminder that some things simply don't need improving. Just moments from Seward Park, Lake Washington, Columbia City's vibrant restaurants and shops, and light rail, this is a home that feels both deeply connected to its surroundings and wonderfully removed from the pace of everyday life.

Step inside this thoughtfully reimagined 1959 home, lovingly renovated over the past seven years to honor the original character rather than erase it. You’ll feel it the moment you walk in. Every decision was made with purpose, every improvement made for better living. Walls removed to capture the sunrise and connect the kitchen to living spaces. Handcrafted wood details, carefully selected materials, and exquisite craftmanship are evident throughout. Meaningful upgrades cohesively married with original hardwood floors, a classic stone fireplace, abundant natural light and an effortless flow to the east-facing deck. Downstairs, a bright and welcoming lower level that's equal parts creative and unexpectedly cool, with its exposed beams, a warm wood ceiling, second fireplace, custom bar, beautifully updated bath, and direct backyard access. Perfect for movie nights, guests, hobbies, or simply spreading out. The thoughtful improvements continue behind the scenes with central A/C, EV charger, updated furnace, 200-amp electrical service, added insulation for comfort and quiet, and years of careful investment throughout. Then there's the location: remarkably convenient to Burien, Seattle, Sea-Tac Airport, shopping, parks, schools, and light rail—yet surprisingly peaceful, without the freeway or airport noise. Some homes impress you when you walk through the front door. The best ones quietly help you imagine a life there. This feels like one of those homes.
