About this property

Some houses just know how to be lived in. Meet “Pearl.” It has spent the better part of a century on this Beacon Hill lot & it shows in the way the day moves through: coffee in the dining nook, an afternoon in the professionally designed garden, dinner that spills onto the front deck & evenings on patio beneath the shade sails. Built in 1938, it keeps what’s worth keeping: the coved ceiling & picture rail, original built-ins, cedar closets & hardwoods. It also adds what matters day to day: mini-splits for cooling & heating, custom top-down/bottom-up shades & dimmers throughout. The garden was designed by a landscape architect & it shows, with raised vegetable beds, water-reclamation barrels & a fully fenced yard. There’s even a finished outdoor room, perfect as an art studio, gym, or buffet line for summer gatherings. A detached garage & driveway provide ample parking. Downstairs, a spacious bonus room with a wet bar is ideal for movie nights & includes the fourth bedroom & bath with a double-headed walk-in shower & its own exterior access. The neighborhood is the rest of the story. Flora Bakehouse, Homer & Bar del Corso are close enough to become part of your routine. The Chief Sealth Trail & Jefferson Park are minutes away. Georgetown’s coffee shops & breweries sit just down the hill & the light rail carries you to downtown, the eastside, stadiums & the airport. In 2016, Sunset Magazine called this one of the West’s best neighborhoods & since then, it’s only gotten better.
