The Seattle Unicorn - Seattle, WA

Impeccably styled from top to bottom, this Seattle craftsman boasts beautiful elements of design and an enviable location in the heart of historic Columbia City. This property is truly a joy to come home to, from the leafy setting among the trees to the front and rear decks overlooking a mature, landscaped garden.

This gorgeous, two-story home sits on an elevated corner lot, a position that fills the house with sunlight and views of the surrounding neighborhood. The center of Columbia City - great shops, restaurants, a farmers market, a movie theater - is three blocks west, and the light rail is only a few blocks beyond. You'll also have incredible access to Lake Washington at Seward Park (one mile), downtown Seattle (five miles), and Seattle Tacoma International Airport (10 miles).

Built in 1916, the house is full of turn-of-the-century character, from box-beam ceilings to the original oak and fir floors. Brightly colored textiles and vibrant wallpaper enhance the natural charm, while central air conditioning, solar power, and an elegant open kitchen bring in a sense of modernity.

After a day out and about in the city, there's ample space to unwind - on the covered front porch, outside in the sun on the back deck, or in one of two living rooms inside (one with a gas fireplace, one with a smart TV). In addition to the lovely bedrooms, you'll have a desk that's perfect for remote work.
