The story
- Basement
Leschi on the cusp of Madrona, with the best of both just outside the door. This 1905 classic brings together original character, established gardens & the updates you want handled. High ceilings, fir floors, French doors, leaded glass, built-ins & original millwork give the house its soul, while updated electrical & plumbing + whole house AC take care of the practical side. Formal living & dining rooms are joined by a generous library/den & gas fireplace, creating a main floor that works equally well for a quiet night or a full house. The bright, spacious eat-in kitchen offers quartz counters, updated appliances, a peninsula with plenty of workspace, opening directly to an Ipe deck with built-in grill, then down to a flagstone patio surrounded by the garden. All 3 bedrooms are upstairs, including lovely window-seat moments that make this 1905 house feel exactly as charming as it should. Downstairs, high ceilings, abundant storage & unfinished space offer intriguing future potential. Two dedicated parking spaces off the private, dead-end neighborhood alley. Lake Washington, Olmsted parks & Madrona's shops and restaurants are all close at hand.
