Update Craftsman in Beautiful Maple Leaf
Welcome to 1011 Northwest 103rd Street, and an updated 1929 Craftsman in Seattle’s Maple Leaf neighborhood. The covered front porch with outdoor heaters offers a welcoming place to enjoy the outdoors year-round. Inside, period character shines through in the spacious living room with a gas and wood-burning fireplace, leaded-glass windows, and built-in storage, while the adjoining dining room with French doors is ideal for entertaining. The main floor also offers a bedroom and updated bath.
The nearby kitchen features stainless appliances and quartz countertops. A light-filled bonus room provides built-in desks, abundant storage, laundry, and direct access to the deck and backyard. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is complemented by a luxurious five-piece bath and third bedroom.
The fully remodeled lower level offers a legal ADU with its own living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, laundry, tall ceilings, wine cellar, storage, and garage access, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or rental income.
Notable improvements include air-conditioning, fully replaced plumbing, a new water line, electrical panel and wiring with knob-and-tube removed, new fence, wine cellar, outdoor patio heaters, and EV charger. The paver patio includes a gas BBQ hookup ready for connection.
Enjoy an exceptional location, just an 8-minute walk to Northgate Light Rail, with shopping, dining, parks, playgrounds, Kraken Community Complex, and a movie theater nearby. Professionally pre-inspected for added confidence and peace of mind.
