Truly a neighborhood original and recognized by so many as a testament to years gone by. Sweet cottage gardens welcome you behind the stone wall and iron gate into a wonderful courtyard that will always put a smile on your face. The formal living room is so special with beamed vaulted ceilings, leaded French windows and a cozy fireplace all overlooking the front yard gardens. Entertain like a professional in these sunny spaces that flow easily outdoors. The dining room has views to the east of Lake Washington and the Cascades, and opens easily to the back deck with those same views. Start your day with morning tea in the quaint eating nook while the sun lights up this kitchen with everything you need to create great meals and lively conversation. The romantic primary suite, with vaulted ceilings, also looks onto the front courtyard, has a gas fireplace, walk-in closet and a three-quarter bathroom with double sinks. The second bedroom or den and bathroom complete this level. The third bedroom, with corner windows for great light and third bathroom are in the finished lower level. A recreation room with mantled fireplace and lots of built-in storage create a quiet escape; there is also lots of room for rainy day play on this level with plenty of storage and great space for crafting. Two-car garage, close to the park and within the Beach Club boundary.
