About This Home

As of April 2025

Box-beam ceilings highlight the dining and living rooms, while the chef’s kitchen and new powder room add contemporary flair. Five bedrooms span the upper levels, and the versatile lower level offers a second kitchen, new bath, wine closet, and separate access. Oversized lot with gated entry, two-car garage and central AC. Steps from UW, light rail, and the Arboretum, this home offers convenience and a vibrant lifestyle.
