About This Home
As of September 2022Rumored to be the inspiration behind Van Morrison’s “Bright Side of the Road,” this hip 3 Bedroom landmark home sits on the brightest and best street in the heart of Seattle’s coveted Washington Park neighborhood. Built originally in 1924 and thoughtfully updated since, this pad has a mid-century modern vibe along with the classic charm of the twenties. It was mid-century cool before that was even a thing. Infused with light from it’s perched position, you’ll enjoy beautiful views from the top two floors, especially from the top deck off the master bedroom. Private patios on the front, side, and back allow you to entertain and follow the sun as it moves. Walking distance to Madison Park’s shops, restaurants and lake front park.
