About this home

There’s nothing cookie-cutter about El Monterey. Tucked into the heart of the U-District, this Spanish Revival building is filled with the kind of character that’s nearly impossible to recreate today. Inside this second-floor home, original details shine through hand-painted tile, hardwood floors, leaded stained-glass windows and charming coved built-ins. The updated kitchen adds modern function with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a professional-style gas range. Just outside, the lush European-inspired courtyard creates a surprisingly peaceful escape from the energy of the neighborhood; the perfect backdrop for an afternoon drink or dinner al fresco. With a Walk Score of 97, UW, light rail, restaurants, coffee, shopping, and the Ave are all just blocks away, making everyday life remarkably accessible with little need for a vehicle. However, for the days you do need one, your own private garage awaits! A true rarity in this location. No rental cap adds even more flexibility to a home that offers something increasingly difficult to find in Seattle: historic character, modern convenience and an exceptional location all in one. Make it yours today!
