Could this be your ultimate "˜sympathetic reno' canvas? Introducing a 1928 cottage-style house shell with a Mid-Century-Modern (MCM) vibe interior on nearly a quarter acre - 9,600 sf - in the Graham Hill/Seward Park corridor of Seattle. The house is situated on a western-facing slope unlocking views of Beacon Hill and West Seattle ridges and beyond to Olympic Mountain caps. Once inside, the large S/W wall-sized windows frame the views and provide brilliant light into the main entry, living room and dining room areas. The galley-style kitchen, 13'L x 8'W, features MCM cabinetry with period hardware, and provides two full 8' H walls for full utilization configuration - go long, go high. The three bedrooms are conveniently clustered beyond the kitchen with one each at the back corners, and the larger, more private bedroom on the other side of the hallway. The terraced lot offers numerous levels and options for outdoor living, lawns, gardens, and activity pads. Other features: Vintage vertical-grain old-growth Douglas Fir floors through ~ ¾ of the house, 2 MCM styled fireplaces - main floor and basement, vintage doors and hardware, arches, hard-wired closets and a partially finished daylight basement with three (3) plumbed areas (ADU?). Site/Transaction readiness: Title Commitment. Recent sewer scope. Oil furnace and ducting removed. Oil tank decommissioned. Seller Disclosure-Form 17 completed. Onsite tree audit conducted. As-Is.
