This early 1913 home is filled with the elegance that only this great era could create. This Grande Dame sits on one and one-half lots high above the street in Magnolia, with views of downtown Seattle and Elliott Bay.
A rocking chair front porch allows entrance into the grand foyer with room for ten to enter at one time. The elegant staircase descending "Scarlett O'Hara" style into the foyer adds drama.
The foyer is open to the entertainment sized living and dining rooms. The ten foot boxed-beam ceilings, walls of windows, oak hardwood floors, original tiled fireplace with hearth, and room to sit down to dinner with 25 of your closest friends, will tantalize all your senses.
Open the pocket doors to reveal a main floor family room just off the kitchen. The kitchen holds a six burner gas stove and a wall of glass front cabinets which reflect the light pouring in through the kitchen window. There is room here for a family of cooks. A study, a half-bath, and a wall of pantry cabinets are just to the side and back of the kitchen.
The ten foot ceilings continue to the top floor which houses four large bedrooms with walk-in closets. Windows are located on two sides of each bedroom for more light. The views from this floor take in the wonder of downtown Seattle and Elliott Bay. A ¾ bath and a full bath with the original tile are located on the top floor.
The lower floor contains the laundry room, another family room, a hobby room, and another study/den.
The back and side yards are fenced around a large deck, lawns and
landscaping, an area for basketball practice for adults/children, and don't miss the one-room escape/retreat tree house.
