About This Home

As of May 2016

Picture your lazy afternoon on the front porch of this beautiful Gatewood craftsman, gazing out at Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Or a cozy evening in front of the fireplace, surrounded by nearly a century of history, rich wood and beauty. There's a stately front room for relaxing and entertaining, an over-sized kitchen (canning anyone?), four bright bedrooms, a high-ceilinged lower level for work or play, sun-soaked gardens and easy breezy access to West Seattle's favorite destinations.
