This is a textbook Scenario A target on a great Magnolia block. Quintessential 1920s brick Tudor with original character — coved ceilings, hardwoods, built-ins, period light fixtures — but with a newly opened-up kitchen, renovated bathrooms, and an indoor-outdoor flow to a sprawling patio with a built-in outdoor fireplace. The 8,625 sqft lot is well above the Scenario A 5,500 sqft preference and gives Margot and Remi real backyard space, with mature plantings (wisteria, hydrangea) for privacy. Layout is genuinely flexible: bed on main, two up, plus a lower-level bed, bonus room, and oversized laundry that the listing flags as ADU potential — a real value lever for the next 10 years. Pricing at $1.785M is right at market (Zestimate $1.724M), under the Scenario A $2.2M ceiling, and only +5% over the August 2024 sale, which suggests sellers haven't gotten ahead of themselves. Bay views to Elliott Bay are a meaningful upgrade. Two main caveats: it's a 1929 home (mechanicals worth scrutinizing during inspection despite "Very Good" rating), and Little Garden is ~5 miles north — workable but not as tight as a Ballard pick.
