For Sale: 1917 Judkins Craftsman
October 11th, 2007 @ 12:55 am by Cliffe | Sorted Historic Buildings
Lately I’ve had this terrible habit of completely wasting realtor’s time by having them show me great old houses that I’d love to buy one day, but have no intention of buying at this moment. I’m saving my pennies. So I can sleep better at night knowing that I didn’t totally waste their time, I wanted to show off this classic Craftsman I toured in Judkins Park. It was built in 1917 and just recently renovated to sell for a reasonable $499,000. When I toured the house, some of the detail work was lacking and some of the renovation craftsmanship sub-par, but this could be a nice way to get the selling price down further in this soft market.

| Front face of the 1917 Craftsman. The palm trees give the house’s curb a pretty unique look. I’m a fan of the muted green shingles with white trim. A very classic look. | Back side of the house. The lawn and fencing in this area need some work, but the area has potential. Hey, there’s Anna. |
|
|
| The front entrance of the house opens to the living room. The fireplace and built-in cabinets are very nice. | The dining room has copious windows and a window seat made just for cats. It’s nice to see that the trim is left stained instead of painted. |

|
| Shot of the downstairs bathroom. Tastefully done. The upstairs bathroom features a claw foot tub. | The dining room leads to the kitchen, now fully remodeled. The cherry cabinets and lighter granite counter go well together. Wood flooring is original. |

This is a beauty! I’ve been on a similar search myself (much like many Seattle residents, probably), and found this one. Doesn’t look like a craftsman, but has some “old world charm”: http://redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1104789
I don’t see the house you speak of listed on redfin, I wonder now if I’m being to narrow with my searching!

Ya, I saw that listing on Redfin. Looks like a Victorian / farm house. I like the Judkins area in that it’s pretty raw right now.
The Craftsman was listed on Redfin at one point but removed for some reason. I’m not sure why. But that’s how I found out about it.
