This Queen Anne Park home was rebuilt by its owners over 6 years — not for a quick resale & it shows in what they chose. The main & lower levels were taken to the studs, walls came down & the original attached garage was absorbed into the floor plan, becoming the main living room in one continuous space under exposed beams, on wide-plank engineered hdwd. The kitchen is built for cooking & double its original size: Viking range, plus a Miele suite — built-in coffee system, steam oven & microwave — w/ quartz counters & an island w/ beverage fridge and seating. The windows are Marvin composite, dual-tone & color-matched inside and out, w/ replicated architectural grids. A dedicated home office sits off the formal living room, w/ a flex room downstairs that easily works as a second. The finished lower level also holds a legal BR, 3/4 BA, second family room, plus utility & storage. Upstairs, 3 BRs w/ original hdwds & a bath taken to the studs. And underneath it all, the expensive, invisible work is already done: roof, siding, electrical, central A/C, high-efficiency furnace, tankless hot water, French drains, and plumbing replaced end to end — repiped throughout in PEX, new incoming supply line, main waste stack replaced, sewer lined. Four true BRs on a corner lot, moments from transit, parks, Queen Anne Ave shops & restaurants, Fremont, and SPU. Built in 1929, rebuilt for how we live now — nothing left to do but move in.
