If you've ever dreamed of restoring a classic PNW Craftsman on a corner lot across from a beloved tree-lined park, this home is the shortcut for achieving that goal. Obsessively perfect wood detailing: an incomparable, custom, single-sourced kitchen cabinet package; clear fir trim hung at new wood-clad windows; stair railing & beams restored to their original glory; and lovingly refinished quartersawn oak floors. A must-have XL west-facing primary retreat overlooking the park with built-in storage and ample bath plus two adjoining bedrooms & an addtl bath on the upper level. Bespoke tile in the kitchen & all 3 baths. Of course, there's an unforgettable kitchen w/ AGA range for over-the-top flare. Major systems like plumbing & electrical are updated along w/ luxe in-floor heating powered by a new boiler and the shiniest copper manifold. Finally, you get a 15-year headstart on a dream garden that has year-round beauty & functional utility for a summer harvest and beating the heat on the kitchen porch ensconced in dripping wisteria. Walk-out basement w/ high ceilings & laundry room is a fabulous flex space which can continue as a maker's space, quickly convert to media, or is an easy build out of office/ADU w/separate entrance. Your car may never leave the driveway in this superb location close to trendy Brewery District, easy stroll to literally everything, & the speediest commute in all of Ballard to downtown/SLU. Truly a delightful find for the connoisseur of Ballard living.
