Your Very Own Ginger Bread House

Most agents insist on waiting for a sunny day to take the pictures of their new listings to ensure that the property portrays a bright and cheery disposition. The agent for yesterday’s most-clicked house on Redfin Seattle went unconventional and used the weather last week to her advantage. The result is a house, covered in a layer of snow, that seems almost edible.

Perhaps I’m just a sucker for Wallingford bungalows (I used to live in one,) but this house just seems warm and toasty on a cold winter day. It was built in 1919 and has clearly been restored pretty extensively. For the listing price of $575,000, you get 3 bedrooms and 2 baths in 1,370 square feet. I particularly liked the new paint, fixtures and the kitchen with the island in it. If you are a serious cook though, the downdraft stove will likely drive you crazy.

While the $/square foot for the neighborhood seems a little high, the house is actually priced below its Zestimate of $589,992. Considering that it is also just up the street from the John Stanford International Elementary school, it seems like it’s worth checking out in person.
