Washington hiking trails just a short drive takes you to Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Frogtown and Silverlake.

Bold wallpapers from the likes of Rebecca Atwood, Juju Papers and Cuff Designs, as well as handmade tiles & classic brass fixtures lend to the home's unique feel. Original windows flood the home with natural, dappled light-highlighting the oak floors. The entry opens to an dramatic living room with a decorative tile mantle, vintage sconces & chandelier and an ornamental plaster ceiling. A bath is readily accessible at the entry level.The upper floor is like living in a tree house and contains a primary bedroom suite with custom finishes, a hydrotherapy soaking tub and a walk-in closet. There are two additional bedrooms with one hallway bath and a junior ensuite, revealing a "speakeasy" bathroom outfitted from a Murphy bed closet. The heart of the home is the spacious, open-concept eat-in kitchen complete with custom cabinets, Viking range and double Electrolux fridge/freezer, a center island with quartz counters and handmade tiles by Zellige. Configured for gatherings of all sizes, the kitchen opens to an expansive rear yard. The paved patio and built-in BBQ are shaded by a mature Tipu tree, and short stairways lead to a playhouse and raised planter beds. Citrus trees surround the home.
