Tastes, norms, and designs change a lot over the years. And that’s part of the reason why we see fewer and fewer heritage homes in Seattle these days. Let alone houses that have had multi-decade influence and alterations like this Seward Park home for sale. Ready to take a peek inside?
This legacy property was built in 1916 and sits on over half an acre, one block from Lake Washington. Its grounds have professionally nurtured black pine and Japanese maple trees, a sports court, and mature fruit trees creating a lush green space. You’ll feel like you have your very own forest and if you decide you need more greenery you can always head over to Seward Park which is a short walk or drive away.
