This Central District stunner is the one: a stand-alone Craftsman-style home with no shared walls, a private yard, and a detached garage all your own. Step inside to gleaming hardwoods and a bright, wide-open main level made for slow Sunday breakfasts and big Friday dinner parties. The kitchen delivers granite counters, maple cabinets, stainless appliances, and a garden window over the sink for your herbs. Vaulted ceilings send light pouring through the bedrooms, gas radiant heat keeps winters warm and quiet, and a brand-new roof plus fresh carpet throughout mean the big-ticket work is already done, so your weekends belong to you. And what weekends they'll be. Coffee on the deck, a stroll through Frink Park's forested ravine, an afternoon on the Lake Washington waterfront, then dinner at nationally celebrated Communion or a box of Ezell's Famous Chicken on the way home. Leschi Park and miles of shoreline path are close behind for morning runs and lazy bike rides. When the city calls, the brand-new Judkins Park light rail station is a short walk away with a one-seat ride to Bellevue and Redmond, downtown Seattle is nine minutes by car, Sea-Tac is under thirty, and I-90 is right there. Room to spread out, room to host, and freedom from shared walls, all in one of Seattle's most storied, most delicious neighborhoods. Home is fresh and ready for new humans. Come and see if this home is for you.
