Many of the original 1930s details remain in the home's well-preserved facade and interior.
Compass Realtor Stephanie McRae, who co-listed the property with Katie Cahill, told the Seattle P-I that renovations were always meant to honor the home's historical heritage by "perfectly balancing its modern updates with picturesque details such as original oak floors, a Juliette balcony and French doors."
"The architecture has a way of bringing the outside in, creating a seamless integration of its surroundings," McRae added.
