An intricately-carved double entry door strikes a resonant midcentury chord as you approach this cool 60's home on Magnolia Blvd with jaw-dropping westerly views of Puget Sound, Islands, & Olympic Mountains ~ perched high above neighboring homes for abundant light, privacy, & unfettered views. All rooms on every level enjoy the views, with plentiful deck space to encourage indoor/outdoor living. 3 gas fireplaces ~ two clad in basalt, one a very cool brick ~ PLUS an iconic MCM freestanding wood-burning fireplace in the cozy family room adjacent to the kitchen. Dining room easily seats 8-10, with the back of the fireplace lending visual interest on one side, windows/sliders for views & access to the deck on another, and opening into the formal living room with dramatic 2-story wall of view windows. The loft above the living room features another basalt/gas fireplace, a view out the 2-story wall of windows, and a wet bar just begging you to throw a party already! Open stairs lend a sense of connectivity between the main and lower level, which features 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, two hang-out spaces (with slider to the lower deck) plus an oversized laundry and sizeable storage room. Even the lower level rooms enjoy expansive views. Many improvements made by current owners, including beautiful hardwoods throughout the main floor, mini-splits in all bedrooms, new roof, and earthquake retrofit. Primary suite on the main allows for one-level living from the attached 2-carage.

Opportunity knocks in one of Seattle's most coveted neighborhoods. Magnolia delivers a bucolic charm reminiscent of a simpler time ~ essentially a small town nestled into the City ~ minutes to Downtown, Queen Anne, Ballard, and South Lake Union. But who needs those other neighborhoods when Magnolia delivers so much in the way of delightful amenities?...Coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, groceries, boutique shopping, and one of the most robust weekly Farmer's Markets on offer around town.This home is mere blocks from all of the above ~ plus playfields, Community Center, and 3 of the 4 schools Magnolia has to offer. This sturdy 1947 home has very charming street appeal and solid bones. It's ready for some hardy stewards willing to get their hands dirty in order to gain a foothold in a community that typically has a much higher barrier for entry. We had it inspected and will gladly share the report...yep, it needs a fair bit of work, but it's very livable as-is while you plot your improvements. Perched high above the street, this home has a nice presence and receives abundant natural light. A fun layout with French Doors opening off the kitchen to a wrap-around deck with lighted/covered gazebo. Two bedrooms and a bath on the main floor, with a 3rd bedroom, another bath, laundry, and family room in the lower level. Hardwood floors throughout the main floor. Attached garage has been used as a shop, with 220v and ventilation. So much potential here!!!
