About this home
There's a moment walking up to this house where the city just drops away. This 1908 Craftsman sits on a quiet block of 31st Ave in the heart of Madrona, and it's been through a full structural remodel that preserved everything worth keeping and rebuilt everything that needed it. Original hardwood floors, period proportions, that sense of permanence. Behind the walls: updated plumbing and electrical, earthquake retrofit, new double-pane windows, central A/C. The work earned a Built Green 2-Star certification, which is rare for a home from 1908. The kitchen has a skylight, stainless appliances, and real counter space. Both bathrooms have heated tile floors, the kind of detail you notice every single morning. The primary suite overlooks a private back garden patio with a built-in pizza oven, and yes, you will use it on a Tuesday night. The finished basement is a genuine game-changer: media room with gas fireplace, home office, storage. It's where the movie happens, the focused work happens, the gear lives. Two-car detached garage and driveway parking round it out. And then there's Madrona. Walk to Hi Spot Cafe, Red Cow, Bottlehouse, Vendemmia, Madrona Wine Merchants. The lake is minutes away on foot. Downtown is ten minutes by car, Route 2 runs direct, and Capitol Hill Station puts light rail within reach. This is a home with real bones in a neighborhood you never want to leave.
