525 NE 92nd St

A very private, small secluded cottage, Craftsman Style, with brand new amenities, surrounded by a mature landscape, within a completely fenced back yard! It feels like an urban retreat-w/Japanese maples, Douglas fir trees, redwoods-and a stately western red cedar. There is ample street parking, and also a dedicated off street parking space, with a place to trickle charge a car battery. If you have a green thumb you will be happy with the large garden, with its sunny southern exposure. This cottage has a wide open floor plan, w/vaulted ceilings & skylights, windows that open, including out swinging French doors that lead directly onto a terrace sitting area-& indirectly to a fire pit & grass lawn. There is abundant natural light which is subtle, & excellent artificial lighting also, showing off interior colors which are neutral yet warm throughout. There are pickled white oak cabinets, including a beautiful built in hanging clothes closet, a thick oak bar, a built in wine rack, & a secret pull out spice cabinet. The kitchen is modern, with overhead lights you can read by, boasting richly leathered granite counters, ample uppers with a pantry, a brand new Bosch dishwasher, & gas stovetop-with a true European convection oven. There is a bedroom sleeping loft that has three small closets for storage, however if you decide to sleep on the ground floor bedroom area then the entire loft can be used for storage-or as a yoga studio, and office! The building is well insulated-thus cool in summer, and warm in winter. This is a wonderful, hidden studio! Offering two different areas for a queen, or full sized be, it is perfect for a college student or professor, a travelling nurse, or simply someone working downtown! Buses and light rail are steps away. The neighbors are friendly. There are nice restaurants, and great coffee shops nearby. PCC, Whole Foods & Safeway are a short drive, or bike ride away.
