“Some houses are updated.
This one has been cared for.”
There is a particular quality of light in an old Craftsman
Morning sun filters through original mullioned windows and settles on hardwood floors — floors that have just been refinished, so the light has never looked better. The main floor unfolds the way 1915 intended: a welcoming living room, a sunroom for reading and slow mornings, a formal dining room that has hosted a hundred years of holidays, an updated kitchen, and a convenient half bath.
Upstairs, three bedrooms are tucked beneath the roofline in true Craftsman fashion, sharing a full bath. The lower level holds a fourth bedroom and its own full bath — a proper guest or in-law setup — alongside a family room warmed by a second fireplace, a dedicated office, and shop space for the maker of the house.
What you can't see matters just as much. A new furnace and water heater, updated plumbing, newer electrical, and added insulation — the unglamorous investments that make an old house live like a settled one.
*Rear-yard DADU potential per recent zoning change; short-term rental permit in place. Buyer to verify all with the City of Seattle.

Montlake, one of Seattle's most complete neighborhoods
The Montlake Community Center and Playfield are a block away. The Washington Park Arboretum's 230 acres of trails begin a short stroll from the front door, as do the Montlake Cut and the neighborhood's beloved cafés. The University of Washington, SR-520, and downtown are all minutes away.
The home is part of the Montlake Block Patrol — the kind of old-fashioned neighborly institution that tells you everything about the street you're joining.
