Timeless Character Set on an elevated corner lot in one of Ravenna’s most desirable residential enclaves, this 1925 Mission-style Craftsman bungalow has a presence that immediately sets it apart. Mature landscaping, including a striking Japanese maple, beautifully frames the home while its position above the street creates an unusual sense of privacy and openness. From the interior areas, windows look outward into the surrounding trees, creating a peaceful and almost treehouselike perspective. Glimpses toward the Olympic Mountains and colorful western sunsets add another unexpected dimension to the unique setting. Inside, the home exudes classic architectural personality and craftsmanship. Hardwood flooring extends through the main living areas, while arched passageways, coved ceilings, glass doorknobs, original tilework, and thoughtfully integrated built-ins give each room its own identity. The charming entry immediately introduces this character with custom storage, while the living room is anchored by an eye-catching floor-to-ceiling wood-burning fireplace. More than simply a functional feature, the fireplace gives the room a strong focal point and creates the kind of warm, memorable setting that is difficult to reproduce in newer construction. The traditional floor plan is another important part of the home’s appeal. A thoughtful separation between the kitchen, dining area, and living room makes entertaining easy while also allowing someone to cook, work, or relax without competing noise. A door can even close off the main-floor bedroom hallway from the primary living areas, creating a quieter private wing for sleeping, young children, or overnight guests. 4
Vintage Comfort The dining area offers an especially inviting connection to the outdoors. Newly replaced French doors open directly to the private fenced deck, allowing meals and gatherings to naturally extend outside. Sheltered from the street and surrounded by greenery, this elevated space is ideal for alfresco dinners, morning coffee, or summer entertaining. A second fenced outdoor area provides additional flexibility for gardening, pets, or casual recreation while remaining relatively easy to maintain. The kitchen preserves a vintage sensibility while incorporating the modern updates needed for everyday life. White cabinetry keeps the space bright and classic, while ceramic flooring and distinctive tilework above the range provide color and texture appropriate to the home’s period character. Newer stainless steel appliances, including a gas range and refrigerator, add functionality while enhancing and expertly blending with the room’s original aesthetic. It is a kitchen that feels comfortably connected to the history of the house while still working well for today’s cooking and entertaining needs. Two bedrooms are located on the main level, both offering nicely proportioned closets and additional storage that is rarely found in newer homes of similar scale. Original built-ins appear throughout the bedroom hallway, while the front bedroom includes a distinctive built-in armoire and thoughtful closet storage. The nearby full bathroom has also been remodeled, combining updated fixtures and a new vanity with beadboard detailing that complements the home’s traditional architecture. Heated flooring adds an extra level of everyday comfort, while Mitsubishi mini-split systems provide efficient heating and cooling throughout the home.

Expanded Potential One of the property’s most significant transformations is the approximately 500 square feet of additional finished living space created on the lower level. The fully permitted renovation turned what was once unfinished space into an integral part of the home. The level sits near street grade and receives great natural light. A generous second living or multipurpose room can easily become a media room, playroom, home office, exercise area, or relaxed retreat, allowing the home to adapt as its owners’ needs change. The third bedroom on this level provides particularly valuable separation from the two bedrooms upstairs. With natural light and privacy, it is well positioned for guests, an older child, a private home office, or a multigenerational living arrangement. A remodeled three-quarter bathroom with heated flooring and crisp white subway tile surrounding the shower gives this level a polished, updated finish. The dedicated laundry room is equally practical, offering a utility sink, storage, and newer Miele washer and dryer. Equally important are the extensive improvements behind the walls and beneath the surface. Plumbing and electrical wiring have been updated throughout, including an upgraded electrical panel and removal of the former knob-and-tube system. Work to the concrete slab foundation, a perimeter French drain system, and a whole-house earthquake retrofit further demonstrate the scope of investment in the property. Together with updated flooring, appliances, bathrooms, heating and cooling, and the substantial lower-level renovation, these improvements create a notably turnkey living experience while preserving the qualities that give a century-old home its character. 6
Urban Convenience The attached garage, a great in-city amenity, includes a Level II Tesla EV charger for convenient at-home charging. In the yard, mature trees and established plantings create a distinct Northwest outlook without requiring the extensive upkeep of a large traditional yard, while the two separate outdoor areas give owners choices in how they spend time outside. The corner lot position also provides additional street-parking opportunities when entertaining or for a household with multiple vehicles. Ravenna is one of Seattle’s most appealing residential neighborhoods, combining quiet, tree-lined streets with exceptional access to the rest of the city. Ravenna Park and its wooded trails offer an extraordinary natural retreat close to home, while neighborhood restaurants, cafés, local shops, University Village, the University District, and the University of Washington are all nearby. Light rail is just blocks away, providing convenient connections to Downtown Seattle, South Lake Union, and major employment centers, while the neighborhood’s highly regarded schools further broaden its appeal. What ultimately distinguishes this home is the combination of qualities that are increasingly difficult to find together. It has the individuality of a 1920s Craftsman, the privacy and convenience of an elevated corner setting, two useful outdoor spaces, and a lower level that meaningfully expands the way the home can be enjoyed. At the same time, extensive renovations to its living spaces, systems, and infrastructure offer new homeowners a turnkey opportunity. The result is a residence that retains the best parts of its original character while offering the comfort, flexibility, and functionality expected from modern life in Ravenna. 1 703 NORT H E AST 73RD ST RE E T | S E AT T LE | J U N I O R TO R R E S 7

Beyond its natural beauty, Ravenna offers outstanding connectivity to the best of Seattle. The University of Washington, University Village, Seattle Children’s Hospital, and the thriving Roosevelt district are all just minutes away, providing exceptional shopping, dining, entertainment, and major employment centers.
