A timeless 1926 Dutch Colonial in the heart of Wallingford, where enduring architectural character meets carefully integrated modern refinement, with a rare, expansive backyard that creates an exceptional urban retreat. Original design elements remain intact, while key spaces have been thoughtfully elevated for contemporary living, creating a home that feels both classic and functional. A chef’s kitchen anchors the main level, featuring a Wolf 6-burner range, Carrara marble, honed granite countertops, and a custom-built island designed for gathering. The space opens to a sunny west-facing deck and large, private backyard—ideal for entertaining and effortless indoor-outdoor living. A beautiful, mature black walnut tree anchors a private yard, creating a natural canopy and established Northwest character. Thoughtful landscaping and a thriving kitchen garden blend beauty and function—an uncommon outdoor space just three blocks from Gas Works Park and Burke-Gilman Trail. Bathrooms have been refined in keeping with the home’s architectural roots, incorporating timeless materials and elevated finishes. Primary bath offers a double vanity, quartz surfaces, heated floors, and updated fixtures. Set on a quiet residential street near Fremont’s vibrant dining, arts scene, and Stone Way’s growing collection of restaurants, cafés, and local shops, the location offers direct bike/bus access to S Lake Union, Amazon, Google, and the UW. A rare opportunity to own a distinguished Wallingford residence featured in the Wallingford Home Tour.
