If you've ever dreamed of a restored classic corner-lot PNW Craftsman across from a beloved tree-lined park, this home is the shortcut. Obsessively meticulous wood detailing: an incomparable, custom, single-sourced kitchen cabinet package; clear fir trim surrounding new wood-clad windows; stair railing & beams restored to their original glory; and pristine refinished quartersawn oak floors. A large west-facing primary suite overlooks the park w/ built-in storage and ample bath. Two adjoining bedrooms and an additional bath are on the upper level. Bespoke tile is in all 3 baths and kitchen, featuring an unforgettable AGA range as its centerpiece flair. Major systems, plumbing & electrical are updated along w/ luxe in-floor radiant heating powered by a new boiler and shining copper manifold. You get a 15-year headstart on a dream garden with year-round beauty & utility for a summer harvest, while beating the heat on the kitchen porch ensconced in dripping wisteria. Walk-out basement w/ high ceilings & laundry room is a fabulous flex space, which can continue as a maker space, quickly convert to media, or is an easy build-out for a separate-entrance office/ADU. Your car may never leave the driveway in this superb location close to the trendy Brewery District, an easy stroll to everything, and the speediest commute in Ballard to downtown/SLU. Truly a delightful find for the connoisseur of Ballard living!
