About this home

Perched at the apex of Washington Park is a block long revered by the neighborhood. Where the extra wide streets conjure storybook dreams and offer a rare, true sense of privacy within the city. Beneath a towering oak said to have come from the White House, sits a 1938 J. Lister Holmes Colonial that feels every bit as special as its setting. Step inside and the formality melts-away, sunlight moves through gracious, connected rooms; hardwoods, millwork, built-ins and original details mingle easily with beautifully bespoke updates, for ease of living. Generously proportioned rooms flank the center-hall stairwell, creating wonderful natural flow. The meticulously updated kitchen provides outlooks to the west facing back yard, spilling straight outside, where a covered veranda, and lush, mature gardens, lawn and patio make indoor-outdoor living almost unavoidable. Upstairs, 3 beds + 2 baths, including a proper primary suite + walk-in closet. The lower-level adds another generous layer for guests, movies, work + play, all on a substantial 7,200 SF lot with detached 2-car garage. And then there’s life beyond the front door…stroll or roll to Madison Park just moments away, the Arboretum the crown-jewel of Lake Washington’s necklace of parks, trails and shoreline at your fingertips/feet. Shops, restaurants and everyday essentials close at hand, with easy access to DT + the Eastside. Remarkably tucked away, yet connected to everything. Washington Park living at its very best.
