Seattle, WA 98115

A lovingly cared-for mid-century home in the heart of View Ridge, this property has been stewarded by the same family for three generations. Originally purchased in the mid-1970s and has been used continually as an extended-family MIL for more than four decades. A valuable investment opportunity! Inside, a bright full-length wall of windows spans the living and dining rooms, filling the circular floor plan with natural light. An impressive Roman-brick, room-dividing fireplace creates the foyer and anchors the main level, complemented by recent flooring upgrades. The primary suite features a generous soaking tub, and both levels open to exceptional indoor-outdoor living: the upper floor boasts a high-quality, recently rebuilt west-facing deck, while the lower level, the full MIL with kitchen, offers a full-length covered patio at grade with the level backyard. The new deck above creates a dry, usable outdoor space below—ideal for year-round enjoyment.The grounds include mature plantings, established gardens, and ample room for vegetables or expansion, with level yard space in both the front and back.Location is unbeatable. Bryant Park and PCC sit just across the street, with excellent schools & cafés, all nearby. Minutes to Children’s, Magnuson, the UW, and the Burke-Gilman, this home offers convenience without sacrificing neighborhood charm. A well-loved, 3-generation View Ridge classic—ready to welcome its next stewards.
