Description

It's not everyday a house and location like this become available to purchase. The story goes that this home was passed on privately amongst friends, from the original owner, 27 years ago. This 1952 gem has never been on the market. Recently Redone and refreshed to highlight its Mid-Century Modern character, while making some updates for today's living. Grand rooms filled with light & filtered views of Lake Washington, which is a block away. Quartz & stainless kitchen, updated bathrooms & three bedrooms on the main floor, are just a few highlights. The backyard is private, w/a greenbelt behind & was freshly manicured. The style was carefully preserved and enhanced to make way for the next chapter in its story. Maybe it is yours to write?
