A single-level sanctuary where the house, systems and garden have all been tended with unusual care. This right sized Cape Cod offers two baths, privacy, central A/C, a wood-burning fireplace, an attached garage and professionally designed grounds by In Harmony. The home reflects years of thoughtful improvement. A JAS Design Build addition and remodel, extensive interior reconstruction, replacement windows, updated flooring, new millwork, built-ins and phased kitchen improvements create a home that is clean, cohesive and deeply cared for. The kitchen brings together marble counters, subway tile, stainless appliances and French doors to the patio, connecting directly to the garden. The practical details matter: updated plumbing and water supply, useful storage, a dedicated mudroom with tile dog shower, laundry, heated floor and keypad entry, plus a garage with cabinets, counter space, easy-care floors, hot and cold water and attic access. A green, low-maintenance lawn, irrigation, landscape lighting, mature plantings, full fencing and tree canopy create privacy, shade and a calm garden setting. Set behind layers of mature privacy plantings, grasses, hydrangeas and a fence, the home sits on a 5,470 SF lot in a quiet Northeast Seattle residential pocket close to parks, grocery, coffee, Burke-Gilman Trail, University Village, UW, Seattle Children's, transit and Lake Washington. A detached home for those who want quality over excess and a garden that feels like part of daily life.
