THE HOUSE

Color me gorgeous! 1906 beauty seeks her new proud owner. The exterior color pallet was researched and chosen as architecturally accurate for the era the house was built in. One of the original homes built in the area, originally surrounded by orchards.

Perched on a quiet street, the grounds are adorned with beautiful mature landscaping on the front, back and north sides. Three sections of new ‘friendly’ cedar fence have just been installed to complete the fence along the north side of the property. The roof, gutters and downspouts were installed in 2014 and are in great condition. New cedar siding was installed on the front and partially on the south side of the home at that time, and the entire home exterior was painted.

The south yard has two raised garden beds and plenty more room to grow.

This walkway provides easy access to the garage and alley. Convenient for bringing in the groceries and daily use.

Got parking? Parking is somewhat limited on Wolcott Ave S. Fortunately this property has alley access to this large 1-car detached garage and off-alley parking space! The garage has electric service and can easily accommodate extra storage. With the side door it could easily be used as a workshop, studio space, or artist studio with easy off-alley access. The alley dead-ends, so it is more quiet and secure.

Bring your vision and make this dame all she can be! The main floor boasts 8’ 7.5” high ceilings. You are welcomed from the front porch with built-in bench into the large front living and dining rooms.

Dining Room

Double-hung, double pane windows on main and upper floors.

This large kitchen with eating space is a blank canvass for your future kitchen. Potentially open it up into the dining room and add french doors out to a future deck in the sunny back yard.

The picture window over the sink brings the outside in.

Main floor full bath is another blank slate to capture its true potential.

This day-lit staircase features 2 picture windows for plenty of natural light, lead upstairs to 3 large bedrooms sharing the floor.

Northeast Bedroom

The floor is served by this east-facing 3/4 bath also in need of your creative vision.

Northwest Bedroom

Southwest Bedroom

Full storage and utility basement with plenty of windows for plenty of light and more possibilities. The basement was professionally waterproofed in 2014 and has never leaked since. Northwest Property and Development installed an interior footing/French drain system around the perimeter, including membrane, perforated pipe, gravel, socks and clean outs. At that time exterior trough drains were also installed at the front exterior and the downspouts were tied into the basement drain system. Conveniently located minutes to Seward Park, Columbia City, Beer Shiva park and boat launch, Beach Bakery, Redwing Cafe, Jude’s and Kubota Garden. Walk 6 blocks to Rainier Beach pool/playground/playfield, and less than a mile to Rainier Beach light rail station. Love living here…
