Neighborhood
Roosevelt is the kind of place where you can leave the car at home. Whole Foods and Roosevelt Square sit just up the street, Portage Bay Cafe handles weekend brunch, and Armistice, Santo, and Fred Coffee keep your mornings covered. Teddy's Tavern and The Westy are there when you want a night out close by.
Commute
Roosevelt light rail station is a short walk north, putting a quick ride to UW, downtown, and Sea-Tac right at your doorstep with no need to touch I-5. Metro routes like the 45 and 67 fill in the gaps, and the whole neighborhood is built for walking, so plenty of daily errands happen on foot.
The Home
This is a true 1916 Craftsman, with 10-foot main-level ceilings, a classic front porch, and the kind of character you cannot build new. A refreshed kitchen and a fully finished walk-out basement add modern function, and the office space converts easily to a third bedroom whenever you need it.
Schools
The home feeds into well-regarded Seattle public schools, including Green Lake Elementary, Hamilton International Middle School, and highly rated Roosevelt High. Several private and language-immersion options sit nearby too, giving you real choices within an easy reach of home.

What people are saying
SEE ALL
The Neighborhood
Roosevelt rewards people who like to live on foot. Start a Saturday with brunch at Portage Bay Cafe or a pour-over from Armistice, Santo, or Fred Coffee, then walk up to Whole Foods and Roosevelt Square for the week's groceries. When you want a night out, Teddy's Tavern and The Westy are both close by. Green Lake is an easy stroll to the west for a morning loop, and the leafy paths of Cowen and Ravenna Park sit just to the east. It's a settled, vibrant part of north Seattle where neighbors know each other, and where most of what you need is only a few blocks from your door.
Getting Around
Getting around from here is genuinely easy. Roosevelt light rail station is a short walk north at NE 65th and 12th Ave NE, which means a fast, reliable ride south to the University of Washington, downtown, and Sea-Tac without ever sitting in I-5 traffic. Metro routes like the 45 and 67 connect you across the north end, and frequent service runs along NE 65th and Roosevelt Way. Cyclists have direct routes toward the Burke-Gilman Trail, and the everyday Walk Score here sits in the 90s, so coffee, groceries, and dinner are all reachable on foot. For a one-car household, this location does a lot of the work.
Home Features
Step inside and the character is immediate: 10-foot main-level ceilings, original Craftsman details, and French doors that open the living spaces to the outdoors. The refreshed kitchen handles real cooking, and the two main-level bedrooms share a full bath plus a three-quarter bath. Downstairs, the fully finished walk-out basement adds a big family room and a dedicated office with new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and that office converts easily to a third bedroom when you need it. Recent work means less to worry about: fresh paint inside and out, a cleaned and reinsulated attic, and a new sump pump with perimeter drain that keep the lower level dry.
Outdoor Space
Outside is where this home shows its personality. French doors open to a custom brick patio that's built for summer dinners, and the fully fenced backyard gives you room to garden, host, or let the dog run. A separate shop and clever built-in storage handle bikes, tools, and projects, and the covered front porch is made for slow mornings and waving at neighbors. With Cowen Park and Green Lake both a short walk away, you get green space in every direction while keeping a private outdoor retreat of your own right at home.
