Location & Walkability Notes
Preference Signals
✅ Cul-de-sac: Extremely rare in Seattle — low traffic, private, safe for kids in the yard. Strong positive signal.
✅ Craftsman character: Interesting architectural detail, crown moldings, hardwood floors — not cookie-cutter.
✅ Views: 180° of Cascades, Olympics, Space Needle, Lake Union, Elliott Bay — exceptional bonus.
✅ Primary suite quality: Cedar walk-in closet, gas fireplace, soaking tub, city views — checks the upper-floor primary suite preference.
⚠️ 3-bed shortfall: With Margot, Remi, and Eastern WA family visiting, a 3-bed layout will feel tight quickly. The fourth bedroom is the standard for this household size.
⚠️ Layout unknown: 1938 Craftsman often means compartmentalized rooms. Open main floor (cook + watch kids) is a strong preference — confirm in person before getting attached.
⚠️ No in-law suite: Nothing in the description suggests guest/in-law capability. A family visiting from Eastern WA would share the main living area.
⚠️ School commute: Little Garden is ~12 miles north in Broadview — likely 25–35 min in morning traffic. Queen Anne is not ideal for that run.
Bottom-Line Assessment
Scenario B. This is a well-updated, move-in-ready Craftsman on one of the most coveted cul-de-sacs in Queen Anne, with truly exceptional 180° views that you can't manufacture elsewhere. The location is premier — close to downtown, walkable, quiet, private. The garage, lot, and primary suite all check the right boxes.
The math is hard to ignore though: $2,195,000 for a 3/2 at 2,740 sqft is paying Scenario A prices for a property that misses A on three dimensions. At $801/sqft you're paying a heavy premium for views and cul-de-sac rarity — not square footage or bedrooms. With two young kids and regular Eastern WA family visits, the 3-bed layout will be a real constraint within 2–3 years.
Verdict: Worth touring — the views and cul-de-sac are legitimately special and hard to evaluate on paper. But go in clear-eyed: unless the layout reveals more flexibility than the listing suggests (bonus room? large basement area?), this is likely a well-priced B that you'd outgrow faster than the price tag warrants. Confirm the main floor layout; if it's open and livable, the case for it gets stronger despite the bed count.
