With the core of the city getting so densely built-up and infilled, wouldn't it be nice to retreat to an 'island of your own' just outside that core? Elevated, level double-corner lot perched just a block up from the shores of Lake Washington. Three generous levels of living. The top floor features a primary suite (with lake and Mount Rainier peek, soaring ceilings, five-piece ensuite bathroom (jetted tub and walk-in closet), plus two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. The main level features a circular floor plan with formal living and dining, plus family room, powder room, laundry/mud room. Chef's kitchen with Bosch and Viking appliances, a central island and gas cooking. The family room in the main level opens out to a west-facing patio with arbor and level, grassy yard. It is fully fenced and features mature landscaping. Accessory dwelling unit potential in the lower level. Currently offers guest quarters/mother-in-law (bedroom, full bathroom, living room, den and separate entry). Real oak hardwoods throughout the main level, open staircase and upper landing. Gas-fired radiant heat system plus minisplits in a couple rooms for zone air conditioning. Two natural gas fireplaces. Wired for the addition of an outdoor hot tub. Detached two-car garage plus plentiful street parking. Stroll the lake path, enjoy bicycle Sundays and the Seafair festival. Near the new Aslan Brewing Pub, Both Ways Café, Leschi, Columbia City and Seward Park. Pre-inspected and scoped.
