Perched just above Lake Union, this 1907 gem of a cottage offers spectacular city skyline views. It has been fully updated by a retired housing inspector and features a heat-pump heating and cooling system, on-demand hot water, new plumbing, new wiring, and an open floor plan.The deck and garden may be Seattle's best place to host a Fourth of July party, with plenty of space for entertaining, barbecuing, and gardening. The hot tub is positioned so you can enjoy the view, then step inside to dry off and warm up after winter stargazing.The floor plan is unique. Upstairs, there is an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area; a primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom; and an office/den. Downstairs, there is a separate studio with wet bar. It has its own outdoor entry, so it could work well as a short-term rental, guest area, or home office. Located on quiet Carr Pl North, the house sits next to a park with a playscape and picnic table and is just a two-block walk to Lake Union. Nearby are Fremont Brewing, the Fremont Troll, Eltana Bagels, Sea Wolf Bakers, Stone Way Café, and Purple Café and Wine Bar.If you've had enough to eat and drink, step out the door, hop on your bike, and hit the Burke-Gilman Trail for a picnic at the Chittenden Locks or Golden Gardens. A home inspection and sewer scope are available. This is a single-family home, not a condo or townhouse.
