OPEN SUNDAY 8/16/09, 1 - 4 PM

I'll be holding an open house this Sunday at my cute little cottage listing near North Acres Park. I hope you stop by and admire the work this homeowner has done to restore and update this great little in-city retreat!







Driving directions: From I-5 take EXIT 174 toward NE 130TH ST/ROOSEVELT WAY. Turn SLIGHT LEFT onto 5TH AVE NE. Turn LEFT onto NE 130TH ST. Turn RIGHT onto MERIDIAN AVE N. The house is on the left just before the 6-way stop at the major arterial (about 1/2 mile).

Character and charm oozes from every pore...

Shrink your carbon footprint. Turn-key cottage with character & charm oozing from every pore of this green restoration using recycled/salvaged materials.





Open central living space with great exposed wood features, skylights; electric heat and a small wood stove with cooktop for romance or power outtages. Refininishd fir floors, Worthwood flooring in kitchen. New kitchen, new bathroom. New plumbing and new wiring. Underneath - new foundation posts and vapor barrier just installed by seller.

Large 270 square foot front patio deck; attached 220 square foot enclosed carport for projects/storage. Set back on wooded level lot for privacy and quiet. Drought-tolerant landscaping and garden space. Long level drive for guests or even RV parking.

Square footage of this cute little home is estimated at 800 square feet. It is believed a one bedroom addition has not been included in King County records.

Quirky and cool, there is even a "kitchen swing". Built with pride in 1931 and fully restored in 2009! Step light on the Earth and live in a “recycled” home!
