Thoughtfully influenced by Japanese design, the home features warm woodwork, custom millwork, & distinctive architectural details, with sweeping downtown & North Shore mountain views. The lower level is configured as office space & rented, providing immediate income, while R3-3 zoning adds versatility, with permitted service-oriented uses & significant long-term potential.
