What a rare & remarkable feeling to walk into a home and immediately be captivated by the warmth and charm. This 1911 classic sits privately & prominently on the quiet side of 23rd w/bird's eye view of the arboretum, lake, Bellevue, & Cascades. The front porch gives a taste of the artsy enclave that awaits you with warm natural light, high ceilings, wide plank hardwoods, large windows with picture-worthy views, and a story to every room. Spacious bedrooms upstairs w/ large picture windows and expansion possibility in the attic. Unfinished basement just waiting to be reimagined. Mature plantings+large yard. Enviable location w/ easy access to some of Seattle's favorite neighborhoods and amenities. Modest updates will make this gem shine!
