About this home

Built in 1918, when this corner of northeast Seattle was still wooded acreage and country roads, this character-rich historic home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of neighborhood history. Originally built as a cabin by early northeast Seattle builder John R. Nevins, the home has evolved alongside the neighborhood while retaining the timeless charm, warmth, and craftsmanship of another era. Set on a 7,000+ SF corner lot with alley access, this rare urban homestead is defined by its magical park-like setting, where winding garden paths, distinct outdoor spaces, and a canopy of mature evergreens, graceful birch, and established rhododendrons create a sense of privacy and retreat. The grounds invite creativity, quiet reflection, and connection, with spaces suited for peaceful mornings on the patio, summer dinners, memorable gatherings, and room to roam beneath the trees, just moments from parks, schools, and the heart of Wedgwood's beloved commercial core. Inside, warm and inviting living spaces reflect the home's enduring character, while a guest room with a charming built-in daybed and an upper-level retreat with a large east-facing window offer comfortable spaces to create or unwind. The detached garage/studio with bath and kitchenette adds flexibility for creative pursuits, a home office, guest accommodations, or future possibilities. Long admired for its timeless curb appeal, this is a truly special property with soul, history, and possibility.
