Own a Bit of Seattle’s Forgotten History. Commissioned by machinists Clinton and Ernestine Baumgartner and their daughter Ruby Opal in1926 and built from a commercially available blueprint, the residence reflects the first owners’ European heritage and recalls a time when ordinary working people could afford to live in well-constructed view homes.
Picturesque yet Timeless. Marketed and built as a “modern” home, the residence combines selected English vernacular exterior features – a steeply pitched roof and stucco façade – with a comfortable, largely unornamented interior hospitable to all decorating styles. Bring your own vibe, whether it’s Mediterranean or Modernist!
Seasonal Delights. Like the storybook Tudor homes on nearby Ravenna’s celebrated Candy Lane, fantastically decorated and illuminated each December, your architectural revival home will enchant with its lush foliage draped in holiday lights, delivering oodles of seasonal cheer. And definitely trick it out in spooky style next Halloween!

Room for You and Your Pod
A Level of Possibility. Currently equipped as a sound studio, the spacious lower level offers versatile use as a home office suite, au pair quarters or self-contained apartment (ADU) for extended family, long-term guests or tenants. Easily remove drywall to reveal the covered-over windows and add a gently sloping ramp for multi-generational access.
Outdoor Living. Step out of the kitchen onto a landscaped terrace plumbed for natural gas and paved in a variety of materials for visual interest ¬– a relaxed setting for socially distanced parties, casual BBQs for your pod, or an outdoor classroom. The adjacent carport provides handy alley access and secure storage for bikes and gardening supplies.
Add a Backyard Cottage. Recent City of Seattle upzoning regulations permit the construction of a DADU on your property, its viability verified by MyKabin.com. Whether you wish to establish a family compound or generate steady rental income, the DADU’s small footprint and low investment will produce rich rewards.
