Well maintained 1929 Storybook English Cottage with impressive systematic & intrastructure updates. Located with one foot in the NW heights and the other just above the NW Alphabet District, giving the best of both worlds: A view and walkable access to the NW Flats via several sets of public staircases along Cornell Road. Old-world architectural details are complimented by modern updates. Most of the antique, yet restored, light fixtures have been carefully sourced to add to the original charm of the era. The living room opens to a level patio with new synnthetic turf - low maintenance without having to mow. The original outdoor wood-burning fireplace is begging for S'mores after dining al fresco while taking in views of mountains, river and twinkling lights from across the river. Recent improvements (2023-2018) include:Brought natural gas to house, new water line, new sewer line, new carpeting in family room, fresh paint in most rooms. Improvements from 2017-2006:Foundation underpinning with piers by Ramjack, along with structural engineer & geotech consulting, replaced roof and added blown in attic insulation, custom blinds in bedrooms, electric air conditioning/heat pump for second floor, updated kitchen, laundry & family room- added egress window for use as legal 4th bedroom and permitted through the City.
