A single-level sanctuary where the home, systems and garden have all been tended with unusual care. This right-sized Cape Cod offers a flexible three-bedroom layout, two baths, central A/C, a wood-burning fireplace, driveway parking and professionally designed grounds by In Harmony. The third bedroom is an unusually versatile, fully conditioned space adjoining a separate bath. Finished with easy-care flooring, hot and cold water, and abundant natural light, it can function as a spacious bedroom, home office, studio, fitness room or guest retreat. The space also retains an operable garage door, allowing it to return to garage use when desired. The home reflects years of thoughtful improvement, including a JAS Design Build addition and remodel, extensive interior reconstruction, replacement windows, updated flooring, new millwork, built-ins and phased kitchen improvements. Marble counters, subway tile, stainless appliances and French doors connect the kitchen directly to the patio and garden. Practical details include updated plumbing and water supply, useful storage, and a dedicated mudroom with laundry, heated flooring, keypad entry and a tiled dog shower. Outside, irrigation, landscape lighting, mature plantings, fencing and tree canopy create privacy and a calm garden setting. Set on a 5,470 SF lot in a quiet Northeast Seattle pocket near parks, groceries, coffee, the Burke-Gilman Trail, University Village, UW, Seattle Children's, transit and Lake Washington.
