About 863 E Gwinn Place
Exceptional Craftsman in the desirable Portage Bay neighborhood combines enduring appeal with a remarkable backyard retreat and beautifully maintained interiors. A tranquil waterfall, terraced gardens and mature trees create a peaceful setting, while the expansive deck offers an ideal place to dine, entertain or unwind outdoors. Inside, the updated kitchen and beautifully remodeled baths blend modern comfort with the home’s classic Craftsman character. The finished lower level extends the living space with a comfortable TV/family room, room for a workout area and a spacious laundry room with plenty of storage. A private driveway provides convenient off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Thoughtful recent improvements include completely renovated baths in 2024, new windows and air conditioning in 2025, a 2022 roof and an EV charger added in 2025. A prime LOCATION completes the package—just a few blocks from Portage Bay in a walkable, sidewalk-lined neighborhood with nearby parks and easy access to the Burke-Gilman Trail. The University District, UW and downtown Seattle are all close by, while nearby SR-520 provides convenient connections to Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond. An ideal blend of peaceful surroundings and outstanding city convenience.
