Nestled in the heart of Fremont and surrounded by lush greenery, this storybook Tudor sits on a rare 7,200 sqft lot, offering an extraordinary blend of nature, privacy, and city convenience. Tucked along a private access road, the property lives like a peaceful retreat, where mature landscaping, birdsong, and picturesque windows create a sense of escape from the pace of urban life. Inside, preserved 1920s charm blends with functional updates across 5 bedrooms and 2.75 baths. Natural light pours through the home, while the kitchen window and back deck frame sweeping views of the city skyline and Mt. Rainier. Hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, multiple living spaces, and a second kitchen provide warmth, character, and flexibility. An approved ADU expands the possibilities for multigenerational living, guest accommodations, a private workspace, or long-term or proven AirBnB income potential. With off-street parking, outdoor living space, garden space and minutes from Seattle's best attractions, it's impossible to list all of the amenities, which incl. cafés, restaurants, parks, transit, the Burke-Gilman Trail, and highly rated schools. This home offers the rare opportunity to live surrounded by nature while remaining connected to everything that makes Fremont one of Seattle's most beloved communities.
