1614 31st Avenue W Seattle, WA 98199

Perfectly located in a quiet pocket just off the Magnolia Bridge, across from Magnolia Park and an easy roll or stroll to all of Magnolia Village amenities, this lovely 1955 home has incredibly gracious living spaces, and is perched high for privacy while enjoying abundant light from all sides thanks to it's corner lot.

We'll revisit this space in a bit, but this is the delightful front patio with gazebo and koi pond. We're looking SW across Magnolia Park. The front entry steps are just out of frame on the right; the front door is just behind us.

This area is several steps up from the street and tucked well back out of view. The cute footbridge steps over the koi pond and leads to stairs down to the driveway. Let's head inside...

To the right of the entry is the formal dining room leading to the kitchen. Let's head the other direction for now and check out the living room...

It's hard to overstate the scale of this spectacular room. The chairs and sofa are large pieces, well-spaced, with ample room for a chaise to boot.

Floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room face north, west, and south; with mature evergreens across the street offering protection from late afternoon summer sun while allowing ample light to filter in throughout the day and throughout the year.

A gas fireplace with original midcentury stone surround separates the living room and baby-grand-sized additional room beyond. This space is just as adept at throwing down for a large group with style as it is enveloping you in cozy goodness with a cup of tea and a good book.

Even if you don't play piano you will appreciate this space. Windows face north for soft/diffuse all-day light. Stairs lead to the lower level, and the hall takes you to the dining room, kitchen, and 2 beds/1.75 baths.

You could easily fit 8-10 in the dining room, with the French Doors closed and the right table/chair configuration. The deep cut-out with lighting is a perfect spot for a bar cart.

A sliding door is tucked behind the louvered wooden shades off the dining room, leading out to the front patio. Let's take a quick peek...

Can you imagine stepping out to this space for your morning coffee and/or your afternoon sip of wine?

This eating nook with storage and counter (coffee bar??) looks out upon the front patio, and offers a perfect perch for banging out emails on your laptop or quietly musing about how good life is.

The well-designed kitchen offers abundant counter and cabinet space, with nice finishes and an abundance of natural light.

The slider to the front patio is just to our left out of frame. The door straight ahead leads to a sweet side patio with planting beds, let's take a look...

SW exposure makes for happy plants in this delightful side yard. All beds feature extensive drip irrigation and have been lovingly maintained by Rainbow of Magnolia for many years. This patio area where we're standing is just a few steps off the back slider. It's a perfect spot for a grill.

The SW-facing primary ensuite bedroom is very gracious is scale, easily accommodating a king bed with large side tables and additional seating. A full bath is just behind where we're standing.

A privacy-diffused glass door opens from the primary bath to the back/side patio with planting beds, and welcomes soft light into the room.

The second main-floor bedroom is also nicely scaled, with lots of closet space.

A large glass-block wall welcomes natural light into the main-floor 3/4 bath (the shower is out of frame on the right.)

The lower level family room has nice ceiling height and loads of space, and features a gas fireplace with original midcentury stone surround and cool wood detailing above the mantle.

The current owners took a formerly under-utilized space and converted it into this sweet temperature/humidity-controlled wine room with bar seating and cork flooring.

The lower level 3rd bedroom is non-conforming due to the current window size and height from the ground; but has nice ceiling height, a built-in bookcase, and closet (just out of frame on the left.)

The lower level laundry is bright and spacious, with cabinetry and a utility sink (just out of frame on the left) and ample space for a large folding table. The door with the 3 windows leads to the driveway and stairs up to the front patio. The door on the left leads to the attached 2-car garage. To the right is the hallway to family room and non-conforming bedroom. Just behind us out of frame is a 3/4 bath.

An Ipe wood walkway leads from the top of the front entry stairs to the front patio.

Beautiful fence and entry gate artfully separates the front stairs from the private entry walkway and patio.

We have many trees in Magnolia and we're close to the water, which can mean exciting weather at times. A bonus feature of this home is the Generac generator, connected to the gas line...no need to fret a power outage, as it's set to turn on or off as needed, and runs all major systems.

31st doglegs off of Galer, which is the road leading out over the Magnolia Bridge. The large strip of grass with mature trees immediately across the street offers a nice buffer from Galer, and an easy spot to toss a ball or walk the pooch. The sidewalk leads to the right to community sport courts and Magnolia Village just down the street.
