About this property

Leschi at $699,000! A shingled 1907 cottage blocks above Lake Washington, holding its own among multi-million-dollar neighbors, and renovated in 2026. Start on the covered front porch, with morning sun and peekaboo views of the lake and Cascades. Behind the beautiful glass-paneled front door, the work is already done. The main floor's high ceilings now carry into the kitchen, where the ceiling was raised to meet them, and everything below is new, from the cabinets to the tile floor. The full bath was remodeled too, and French doors open to the backyard. A spiral staircase winds down to the lower level, where the carpet is brand new. Fresh paint runs throughout, the foundation has been reinforced with poured concrete and posts, and even the front stairs, porch and railing were rebuilt. Move in and change nothing. Then, if someday you want more room, NR zoning may even allow a second story, worth exploring. This is Leschi: public street-end beaches within blocks, Frink Park's trails six blocks one way, and Colman Park and its beach six blocks the other, both Olmsted-designed. On 31st you'll find That's Amore for Italian and Heyday for burgers and brunch, with Leschi Market down the hill and I-90 close by when the Eastside calls. Out back, a fully fenced yard for the dog and a patio for long evenings outside. Three bedrooms, one bath, and a street that rarely opens at this number. There is nothing cookie-cutter about this home. Come see it.
