Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

Timeless Craftsman charm meets modern functionality in this lovingly transformed 1924 home, tucked behind a community garden in Leschi, just three doors from the paths and playfields of Powell Barnett Park. From the moment you arrive, the home invites you in, opening to a light-filled main floor where the kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together beneath a soaring vaulted cedar ceiling. At the heart is a chef's kitchen featuring a generous quartz island, induction cooktop, commercial-style hood, elegant custom cabinetry, extensive counter space, and a light-filled garden window, all centering a space designed for both easy weeknights and memorable evenings with friends. The cooking space flows seamlessly into dining and living areas warmed by hardwood floors, an auto-closing skylight window, and a rebuilt fireplace wall with a live-edge mantle. The finished lower level, boasting a refreshed bath and handsome laundry space, adapts to whatever life asks of it: guest visits, home office, media room, play space, or quiet hideaway. But the real retreat waits out back. A cedar-covered deck steps down to a level, fenced lawn wrapped in mature evergreens—a private green sanctuary that feels worlds away yet sits moments from both Leschi and Madrona cafés, shops, and parks. Morning coffee on the deck, long summer dinners under the cedar gable, games and memories on the lawn. This is the rare city home where privacy, warmth, and connection all live under one roof.
