The Crane House at Genesee Park. View this house from the south and you might see an origami crane. That was the intent of the original owners who custom built this home in 1967. Appropriate considering it's across the street from Genesee Park, which provides acres of greenspace and nature. Just three houses down from the shores of Lake Washington near Stan Sayres Park and the Mount Baker Rowing Club. Inside, the most striking mid-century feature is a huge globe light descending from the vaulted ceiling over an open staircase. The interior has been wholly renovated with a nod to modernism. Bamboo floors blanket the main level. A chef's kitchen with 4-person island and pantry. The dining area steps out to the view deck. A generous living room looks out over the grassy park. A guest bath and laundry closet lead to the sleeping wing: 2 bdrms plus a primary suite with its own bath. The garden level downstairs offers a primary bedroom (w/ensuite bath), two more bedrooms and guest bath, kitchen with island, living/dining and laundry. It steps out to a covered patio and fenced yard with mature vegetation. The versatile living space lends itself to multigenerational and M-I-L living. Lock-off the lower level and live upstairs while you rent the downstairs. Or rent out both levels and take advantage of the high demand area (lake adjacency, Seafair). Newer roof & windows. Minisplits for heat and AC. Natural gas. Storage shed. Off-street covered parking for up to four vehicles.
