Summary:

Rich in both modern comfort and classic craftsman charm, Harbor Haven is a one-of-a-kind Seattle retreat. From its century-old style to its thoughtful updates throughout, this property makes a beautiful home base whether you're summer vacationing, visiting the University of Washington, or working downtown.



This three-story home is two blocks away from the Burke Gilman Trail, a scenic 27-mile bike and pedestrian trail that runs along the ship canal from the shore of Puget Sound to the shore of Lake WA and beyond.



The Space:

It sits between Northlake and Wallingford, just over a half-mile stroll from spectacular sunsets at Gas Works Park on Lake Union. So much is close by, including UW's gorgeous campus (three-quarters of a mile), Wallingford's little hub of shops and restaurants (three-quarters of a mile), Husky Stadium (over one mile), and Woodland Park Zoo (two miles). The Fremont neighborhood and its shops and restaurants are just over a mile away.



The backyard is a haven in spring, summer, and autumn - a place to relax on the garden terrace in the shade of a stately Douglas fir. Light the gas grill for a barbecue dinner, gather around the patio table at sunset, and slip into the private hot tub to unwind beneath a star-filled sky.



The house itself dates back to 1925, which you'll feel in its small details - the wood floors, the moldings, the beautiful windows. Yet it's also been outfitted with contemporary comforts, from smart TVs to the home office with its dual desks and complimentary WiFi. The kitchen is especially lovely, offering a center island, a farm dining table, and culinary essentials ranging from stainless steel appliances to a blender and stand mixer.



Begin each morning with a workout in the home weight room and end each evening with a movie in the living room or den. There are five bedrooms to choose from - three on the top floor (including a primary bedroom with window AC), one on the main floor (the den doubles as a bedroom), and one in the basement.
