You can't help but feel relaxed here! The moment you step through the front gate, you can feel how special this 3-bed, 2-bath Meadowbrook home is. Mature wisteria frames the house making for storybook cottage vibes that continue with vine wrapped arbors throughout the property. Inside, you'll love the 1940's charm of the original oak hardwoods, built-ins and the signature corner bedroom windows. Many upgrades in the last decade include big ticket items like replacing the roof and furnace, adding central air conditioning, updating built-ins, and most appliances. Spacious backyards like this are increasingly hard to find in Seattle. Fully fenced with alley access, storage shed, and one of the home's sweetest features; the covered, screened patio. Gardeners will love the raised beds, grapevines and incredible sunlight. Walkable to the paths at Meadowbrook Pond and near the Meadowbrook Community Center with indoor pool. Great for bike commuters with close access to the Burke Gilman Trail. Just under 10 minutes to Northgate light rail station. Great nearby schools, including the newly built John Rogers Elementary School.
