Situated in Seattle’s highly sought-after Montlake neighborhood, just steps from the Washington Park Arboretum, this timeless Art Deco residence is available for the first time in over 25 years. It offers a unique blend of architectural character, privacy, and location that is increasingly hard to find.
Timeless Design Meets Everyday Livability
From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting impression. The signature rounded entry sets the tone for what lies inside—classic Art Deco details including coved walls, rich hardwood flooring, and elegant lines that speak to the craftsmanship of its era.
The main level is thoughtfully laid out to support both everyday living and entertaining. It features:
- Three spacious bedrooms
- Two bathrooms
- A centrally located kitchen with a charming breakfast nook
- Formal and informal living spaces that connect seamlessly to the outdoors
Natural light fills the home, and nearly every room is oriented to take advantage of the peaceful backyard setting.
A Private, Park-Like Setting
One of the most compelling aspects of this property is its exceptional outdoor space. Fully fenced and thoughtfully landscaped, the backyard offers a sense of privacy that feels more like a retreat than a city lot.
Mature greenery, a patio area, and carefully designed plantings create a quiet environment ideal for relaxing or hosting. The connection to nature is further enhanced by the home’s proximity to the Arboretum, with miles of trails and green space just moments away.
Flexible Living with Added Space Below
The lower level provides additional flexibility—whether for guests, a home office, or a separate living area. It includes:
- A fourth, non-conforming bedroom
- A spacious secondary living room
- A gas fireplace for added warmth and comfort
This additional level allows for a variety of living arrangements, adapting easily to changing needs.
A Location That Balances Convenience and Calm
Garfield Street is uniquely positioned as a quiet cul-de-sac bordering the Arboretum. It offers a level of tranquility that is rare within Seattle, while still being highly connected.
From this address, you have:
- Easy access to Downtown Seattle and the University of Washington
- Walkable proximity to the Montlake business district
- Immediate access to trails, parks, and waterfront spaces
It is truly a setting where city living and natural beauty come together.
A Home That Rarely Comes Along
Homes like this do not come to market often—especially in a location as desirable as Montlake. As I shared in a recent feature on Selling Seattle, this property captures the essence of what makes the Arboretum area so special: timeless architecture, peaceful surroundings, and a true sense of place.
Offered at $1,795,000, 2615 E Garfield Street presents an exceptional opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Seattle real estate.
