Rare mid-century modern with Japanese-inspired design touches, offered for the first time since 1969. This distinctive Woodridge home offers 3 bedrooms on the main level and a 4th bedroom downstairs, with 2.25 baths including a soaking tub. The light-filled living and dining areas feature vaulted ceilings, walls of windows and a unique dual-sided fireplace serving both rooms, with an additional fireplace downstairs. Kitchen was updated in 2016 with higher-end cabinetry. The home is ready for sweat equity, personal updates and remodeling, offering a wonderful opportunity to preserve its mid-century character while creating something uniquely your own. A former rear deck was enclosed to create a solarium, offering possibilities for future indoor/outdoor living.

Its traditional wood construction and intimate setting create intriguing possibilities as a studio, creative space or private retreat. The home’s distinctive architecture, natural light and connection between interior and exterior spaces provide an exceptional starting point for thoughtful renovation. Conveniently located near I-90, Factoria, Bellevue shopping and dining, yet tucked into the established Woodridge neighborhood.
