129 26th Avenue ESeattle, WA 98112Price: $849,000

Step onto the top-floor deck and the view opens wide: the tree canopy of Madison Valley stretches below, rooftops give way to open sky, and the mountains sit in the distance on a clear day. This townhome on 26th Ave E puts you there every day - four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and the square footage to back it up. Not your average townhome. The main level earns its character: rich cherry hardwood floors catch afternoon light from oversized windows, a gas fireplace anchors the living area with a white mantle and built-in cabinetry on each side, and a powder room sits just off it. The kitchen wraps around maple cabinetry, a gas range, and glass pendant lights above the peninsula. The entire top floor belongs to the primary suite, with vaulted ceilings and a bath built around two pedestal sinks, a deep soaking tub, a glass shower, and a private water closet. The walk-in closet delivers: hanging, shelving towers, drawers, and shoe storage. While the lower level opens to a private yard through a glass slider, a daylight room with its own bath and real separation. E Madison's restaurants, cafes, and shops are just around the corner, including Kin Dee and Queen Bee Coffee. The Bush School and Holy Names Academy define an exceptional private school presence in the area, complemented by well-regarded public options in Madrona. Capitol Hill light rail keeps the rest of the city close. This is a rare opening in one of Seattle's most sought-after pockets. Tour it and see.
