Sold full price in 6 days, all cash.
We worked with these senior sellers for a year to help them strategize their big move--out of their home of 44 years where they had raised their children, across the country to a new home. By planning ahead, we were able to help them get their move made, get the house in top condition for photos and welcoming the public in, and time their entry to the market to coincide with the peak buying season. As always, we worked hard to surface and feature everything about the home we knew would make our target buyer profile fall in love.
The result was a flood of showings and attendance at open houses in the first week, culminating in one picture-perfect all-cash full-price offer.
Here is the marketing text from our listing:
These are the landmark addresses, where those who buy, stay (44 years, in this case).
But it's not just the address. You can feel a good house. One that knows how to shelter its people, hosting them with warmth and quiet solidity through all the seasons of their lives.
Outside, this stately 1908 Tudor Revival sits squarely on its over-sized lot on one of Capitol Hill's finest legacy streets. Inside, surprises await. Remarkably light and airy, the home has generous rooms, large windows and extensive, finely painted woodwork. At the front, original formal day rooms and a grand entry, with an elegant staircase rising to the 2nd floor mezzanine. To the rear, the home's casual side emerges, with a big, open kitchen/family room ringed with windows opening onto the private rear patio and gardens. Upstairs, find views of Lake Washington and the Cascades, large corner bedrooms, a vintage barrel-vaulted, fully tiled primary bath, skylit family lounge and several bonus spaces.
The unfinished basement offers acres of dry storage, laundry and potential. An enormous 2-car garage with 11' ceilings, flooded with natural light, will easily accommodate vehicles, kayaks and projects.
“Now this is the kind of house you want,” our pickiest inspector kept saying. Built solid, it was top-of-the-line when new, made to last, and well maintained ever since...with many quality updates along the way. It's a structure worthy of the investments that will take it another 120 years into the future.
