New (Old) Listings in the Central District

Looking to fill your weekend post-4th fireworks? Do some home cruising in the Central District with these new listings, and take in a bit of Seattle history, to boot. That’s right, kiddos — all of these homes are more than a century old, all have been listed no more than a fortnight, and all brim with turn-of-the-20th-century character. Okay, so maybe some of them need a little more love than others (we’re not naming any names), but they’re nonetheless charming in their age. And, given this city’s propensity for razing old buildings, I for one am glad to see some of that Arts and Crafts construction outfox townhouse purgatory.
