Perched high above the street and wrapped in mature landscaping, this classic Capitol Hill Craftsman strikes a rare balance of privacy, personality, and incredible in-city convenience while putting the best of Seattle right outside your door. Inside, the updated kitchen makes a memorable statement (with slate countertops repurposed from the original blackboards of Garfield High School) as it opens seamlessly to generous spaces filled with Craftsman character: original millwork, warm hardwood floors, leaded-glass windows, and a picture-perfect window seat made for lingering with a book or morning coffee. The flexible layout delivers three bedrooms plus a vibey parlor, while the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen configuration makes everyday life and entertaining feel effortless. Two alley-access parking spaces add a coveted dose of convenience, and downstairs, the unfinished basement offers abundant storage and plenty of room to imagine the next chapter. Ideally located just minutes from the Pike/Pine corridor, Madison Park, Washington Park Arboretum, and the University of Washington, with multiple transit options nearby and easy access to SR 520 for Eastside commuters, this is a distinctive home in a prime Capitol Hill setting, with character you can’t recreate and potential you can shape. Come and welcome this special Seattle home to its next chapter.
