About the House

The previous owner, Dorothy, had lived in the house for 60, count ‘em, SIXTY years. Luckily for us, she did a marvelous job with maintenance (new roof, new windows) and somehow managed to keep 40 year old kitchen cabinets practically like new:



She left much of the Original Charm intact, such as the Original Charming 100 amp fuse box:


The Original (well, circa 1963) Charming Furnace:


Accompanied by, of course, The Original Charming Mercury Thermostat:


And last, but certainly not least, the Original Charming Clothesline, because the house has no dryer!

The house has 3 floors, the basement (If you look closely, you can see the backup clothesline in the basement to support our not-conducive-to-drying-anything-outside Seattle weather.):

Main floor,with the kitchen above, two bedrooms,and the one and only bathroom:


Can’t wait to shower with that plastic tile in the tub – hold me back - but it least it has hex tile on the floor


And the attic, featuring the timeless appeal of summer camp:
