About this home
Available on the open market for the first time in 60 years, this enchanting 1920 Craftsman perches in the coveted Sehome Hill Historic District. Built by prominent & prolific builder George Moon—the visionary behind WWU’s Edens Hall & the historic D St RR depot—as his own family's home, this 3-bed plus den, 1.75-bath home seamlessly marries timeless Craftsman charm w/infrastructure updates. The sunny main floor glows w/newly refinished oak floors, stately wood box beams, original woodwork, built-in window seats & cabinetry w/leaded glass. At its heart sits a wood-burning fireplace graced w/rare Batchelder tiles featuring "The City of Hearthside Dreams/Castle Wall." The vintage kitchen is pure nostalgia, pairing a restored cast-iron freestanding farm sink, refreshed original cabinetry & AETC vintage hexagonal tile floors with a new fridge & induction stove. The versatile lower level has interior & exterior entries, LVP flooring, & a non-working fireplace detailed w/Batchelder "Dancing Children" tiles. Home & garage fully rewired in 2026 along w/new R-49 attic insulation, fresh paint inside & out, new light fixtures. Large 2-car garage w/a shop area & a dedicated circuit for a future EV charger. 2,604 finished sq ft plus 564 sq ft unfinished. Restored and refreshed for its next chapter, this historic haven with a pocket city & bay view sits just one block from the 175+ acre Sehome Hill Arboretum, moments from WWU & downtown. Home is pre-inspected.
