This serene in-city retreat, is set high above the quiet tree-lined street. Its delightful color palette provides an enchanting contrast to the lush gardens surrounding it.  The beautiful vintage tiled fireplace, flanked by built in bookcases and windows, is the centerpiece of the light-filled living room which also features high ceilings, newly refinished oak floors and a bay window with views to the front gardens.  The full dining room makes this home ideal for entertaining. 

Just off the spacious, updated kitchen, with its newer appliances, including gas range, slab granite countertops, open, display shelving and fir floors, is a lovely family room with two sets of French doors that provide expansive, tranquil views of the sumptuous back gardens. Open these doors and let the outside in!

The romantic master bedroom boasts yet another set of French doors which open to a private deck and enhance the storybook feel of this special home.  Main floor renovated bath includes period hex tiled floor, pedestal sink and clawfoot tub.  The two roomy upstairs bedrooms have large closets and warm fir floors.

The partially daylight basement, with high ceilings, has been earthquake retrofitted. With two large rooms, an updated ¾ bath, tons of storage space and a separate entrance, the possibilities for this space are endless. Most of the plumbing is copper, newer gas furnace and a new electrical panel was added in 2005.

An abundance of fruit trees including apple, peach, fig and pear, magical pathways, separate vegetable garden beds and hidden surprises make this a true gardener’s paradise (the garden has been organic for several years).  The ‘top of the property’ lighted gazebo, tucked under kiwi vines, provides a magical sanctuary and outdoor living room. 

A fabulous location! Sited on a verdant hillside, next to the Horton Street steps, just a few short blocks to Mt. Baker Park, Community Center, shops and Mio Posto, close to Mt. Baker Beach Park, walking distance to the new McClellan Street Rail Station, a hop & a skip to downtown!
