About this home
Single Family · Built 1941
Absolutely singular 1941 cottage in the woods, crafted with an unsurpassed eye for detail. Hand carved and painted beams support soaring wood ceilings. Scalloped interior trim adds a bit of whimsy while a stone fireplace grounds the living space. Modernized in just the right ways: updated kitchen has Miele dishwasher, Wolf gas range, counter depth KitchenAid refrigerator, and granite countertops. Huge primary bedroom updated in 2011 with spacious walk-in shower. On the tamed portion of this 1+ acre lot, garden walls create distinct outdoor spaces, including a courtyard dining patio, a hot tub pad, firepit, and a covered grilling shelter with a built-in fireplace. Cozy kitchenette studio under detached 380SF garage w/ full bathroom; perfect for guests, work-from-home, or future income. Easy jaunt to Lake Forest Park Town Center with Third Place Books, Honey Bear Bakery, Ace Hardware, King County Library, Albertsons, Starbucks, Mod Pizza and SO MUCH MORE. Ride the Burke Gilman Trail to Seattle or Kirkland. Beloved, highly regarded Shoreline Schools. And the icing on the cake….this parcel is deeded for membership in Lake Forest Park Civic Club with sandy beach, boat ramp, and clubhouse.
