Find Peace and Quiet Near the City

Today’s most-clicked on property offers space and seclusion, while also being conveniently close to Downtown Seattle. It’s located on the north end of Phinney Ridge, just east of Green Lake. For $629,000 you get 2,720 square feet of living space, 4 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. The lot is heavily wooded, giving the property a sense of calm that’s hard to find in the city.

The interior appears in good shape but the kitchen could stand to use a refreshening. Upstairs are neat rooms where you could put a bed or a desk next to the little eyelet-port windows that you see in the roof. A large deck looms above the backyard- probably more useful for entertaining the spouse than guests, since it sits off the master suite.

The current owners have put a good 14 years in this house and bought it for $220,000 in 1992; a 65% appreciation in that time period. Phinney Ridge’s median list price is $495,000. Homes here are averaging 26.5 days on the market. A home across the street sold for $617,000 in April of this year, but was only 1,600 square feet.
