Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Seattle's highly sought-after Lakewood neighborhood, this beautifully restored Craftsman blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. Surrounded by lush, edible gardens, the property offers a rare urban farm lifestyle where mature fruit trees, berries, herbs, vegetables, and grapevines create a private retreat unlike any other. Inside, you'll find an abundance of natural light highlighting the home's original craftsmanship. Rich millwork, wood-wrapped windows and doors, custom built-ins, gleaming hardwood floors, and classic architectural details preserve the home's historic charm, while recessed lighting and multiple skylights keep every level bright and inviting throughout the year. The thoughtfully designed chef's kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring PaperStone countertops, a stainless steel backsplash, floating stainless-steel shelving, abundant cabinetry, premium stainless-steel appliances, a gas range, and a vent hood. French doors open directly onto the patio, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Step outside to discover an entertainer's dream. Prepare artisan pizzas in the authentic wood-fired clay oven, gather with friends in the Mediterranean-inspired courtyard, or unwind beneath the handcrafted gazebo draped with mature grapevines. Wander through terraced gardens overflowing with apples, berries, asparagus, heirloom tomatoes, herbs, and seasonal produce—your own private harvest just steps from the kitchen. Owner provides professional landscaping! The upper level provides a peaceful retreat with three bright bedrooms enhanced by large windows and skylights.
