Extraordinary Curb Appeal and an Interior with Modern Upgrades

Built in 1926, this exquisite Montlake Tudor-style home boasts extraordinary curb appeal and an interior that expertly incorporates modern upgrades with timeless vintage charm. First impressions of the property are graciously inviting. The shady residential street is quiet and elegantly lined with homes of the same style and period. Exuding an English garden feel, the landscaping is impeccably manicured with hedges and stone pavers. The exterior pleasingly blends brick and wood elements. Guests are welcomed through a front door portico that is consistent with the home’s distinct style.

The interior of the home fills with natural light and boasts a highly desirable and functional floorplan. The living room features eye-catching design touches such as a wood-burning fireplace, oak hardwood flooring, arched passageways, and ornate molding. The masterful craftmanship employed in the design and construction of the home is reflected in detailing throughout the main level. There is a separate formal dining room with abundant sunlight. The windows in these rooms are energy-e cient and overlook the property’s lovely green surroundings. The layout is perfectly suited for the entertainer who wants to captivate guests with a home that manifests sophistication and vintage style.

Main Level

The attention given to balancing the original design sensibility of the home with modern comfort reaches its pinnacle in the open kitchen. Slab granite counters, premier stainless-steel appliances including a Viking range with hood and new refrigerator, and Shaker-style white cabinets are noteworthy features of the space. Heated flooring adds comfort and a bar opens to the adjacent great room. This room, rare for home designs in the area, is certain to be a favorite gathering place for the entire household with its built-in shelving and French doors opening to outdoor spaces.

Also on the main level is a guest bedroom with a large closet and convenient outdoor access. The bathroom on this level includes a tiled shower, pedestal sink, and other features that enhance the period aesthetic.

Upper Level

Upstairs are two generously proportioned bedrooms and function is not overlooked with ample closet space in both rooms. The expertly renovated Jack-and-Jill bathroom is defined by its quartz counters and top-of-the-line fixtures. A secret linen closet on this level o ers access to attic storage.

Lower Level

Flexible bonus space is provided throughout the fully-finished lower level. A second great room would be a perfect place for relaxing and enjoying media or could be repurposed as a play or exercise area. A Murphy bed and a built-in cabinet/desk unit o er an option when you have one extra guest to host. The bathroom on this level is highlighted by heated flooring. A truly unique feature found here is the 250+ bottle wine cellar with an adjacent space for enjoying celebrated vintages or fine cigars. There is also a spacious laundry room with high-performance washer/dryer, abundant storage, and both garage and outdoor access from the lower level.

Delightful Outdoor Spaces

Warm evenings will be even more delightful with the backyard entertainment areas. Spread over two tiers, the space is surrounded by mature landscaping and includes a four-person hot tub. Professional lighting allows gatherings with friends to extend later into the evening. The space is exceptionally private and there are beds for the aspiring gardener.

Nearby are Interlaken Park and Washington Park/Arboretum. Access to I-5 and Route 520 is easy, making for quick commutes to downtown, South Lake Union, UW, and Eastside communities.

Montlake: Charming + Peaceful Urban Enclave

In 1861, Montlake was known as Union City, with high hopes to become a booming business town. Despite not living up to its original vision, Montlake has become a beautiful residential neighborhood that prides itself on views of Lake Washington and access to breathtaking parks. Most of the homes in this neighborhood were built before 1940, giving a charmingly quiet, vintage feel. The community is proud of the Seattle parks system and rallies around environment preservation through habitat restoration and the meticulous upkeep of its parks. Every September, St. Demetrios Orthodox Church holds a Greek Festival, one of the most famous events of the year in Montlake. Additionally, the community center hosts events like Fall Festivals, Minute to Win It nights, sports and music lessons, and “tot” programs for the young ones.

One of the biggest draws for the area is The Washington Park Arboretum, where one can walk among the flowers, enjoy the Japanese Garden, and land and water trails. This hidden gem on the shores of Lake Washington is 230 acres of dynamic assortments of plant life, found nowhere else in the Pacific Northwest, and is a wonderous experience while enjoying the views of the lake and distant mountains. Residents of this green oasis appreciate the convenient commutes to downtown, UW, South Lake Union, and Eastside communities.
