They don’t build (or remodel) them like this anymore! Built by a contractor for himself, this 4 Square/Craftsman has been meticulously maintained & thoughtfully updated. An architect-planned remodel in 2001 preserved its soul while expanding & improving flow w/ 3 bathrooms (4th in studio). Crown molding, architectural trim around every door & window–details you just don’t find in new construction. The kitchen is built for serious cooking & entertaining, with a Thermador gas range & downdraft, Sub-Zero fridge, & Miele dishwasher. Laundry on top & bottom floors add everyday ease. Additionally, the big-ticket items are already handled: new roof & solar in 2021, sewer relined & a new Daikin multi-zone heat pump in 2024. Hardwoods were refinished & new carpet installed in 2026. Outside, 4 decks, including a rooftop crow’s nest, deliver sunset & fireworks views all season long. A charming 1911 backyard studio w/ kitchen & bath, for office, studio, or guests. And the location? Stroll to Dick’s Drive-In & the shops on 45th. Spend weekends at the Meridian Park p-patch & Wallingford farmers market, then wander over to Woodland Park & Zoo, Gas Works Park, or Green Lake. Stanford & McDonald language immersion schools (assigned to Lincoln HS) are nearby, as well as UW. Plus, easy access to I-5 gets you downtown, or anywhere. A rare combination of century-old craftsmanship, thoughtful updates, & the everyday convenience of one of Seattle’s most sought-after locations.
