An in-city retreat, steps from Volunteer Park! Situated on a fully enclosed lot, this delightfully designed home opens to two entirely private courtyards with patios and mature gardens. Redesigned in 1977 by landscape architect W. David Poot, full walls of bi-fold French doors & windows at each end make the home feel continuous with the "secret gardens" outside. Inside, the open kitchen offers a large island, plentiful cabinets, walk-in pantry and bar, and convenient powder room. French doors off the dining area lead to a spacious sunroom overlooking the west courtyard, which feels almost cinematic with a round stone patio, fountain, and rich foliage. At the opposite end, a large-scale living room with fireplace and glass built-ins overlooks and opens onto the east courtyard. The upper levels offer flexibility as either two large bedrooms and a family room or three bedrooms stretched over two floors. On the second floor, a generous suite with half bath, laundry, and balcony with western views, and a second bedroom with en-suite bath and a garden balcony. The third level is entirely dedicated to the primary suite - with fireplace, full bath, and walk-in closet. Glass doors open to a balcony and views of Elliot Bay and the Olympic mountains. The finished basement features a full bath, large closets, dedicated wine room, separate entrance, and has been plumbed for a kitchenette, perfect for a home office, family room, guest quarters or potential MIL suite.
