Classic American Foursquare with Colorful Modern Touches

Stunning 1906 home in the quiet area of Capitol Hill. THE SPACE This classic American Foursquare honors our region’s timber industry with a wrap-around covered porch, wide overhanging eaves, beautiful unpainted woodwork, built-in bench seating, bay windows, and box beam ceilings. The warm foyer invites you through leaded-glass French doors into the living with a gas fireplace surrounded by the original quarter-sawn oak mantle. Pass through pocket doors into an expansive dining room with a trestle table that can seat 10 people or be moved out of the way for a dance class or sing-along next to the tiger oak upright piano. With an 8-foot walnut island, farmhouse sink, Sub-Zero refrigerator, 6-burner Wolf stove and double ovens, the kitchen is perfect for a cooking class or preparation space for a multi-course meal. A media area with a cozy couch offers a place to rest adjacent to the kitchen. The upstairs has 2 beautiful bedrooms, an office, and 2 immaculate bathrooms that are also available for guests. Modern features include unique decor with an abundance of color, updated systems with electric heat pump heating and air-conditioning, home automation with security, lighting and whole house audio. THE YARD Guests can spill out onto the back deck to enjoy the private, fenced yard featuring flower gardens, raised planting beds, and an apple tree. The yard and back of the house are accessible from an alley which allows for convenient staging and loading/unloading.
