Property details
About 2031 42nd Ave E
This isn’t just a home — it’s a lifestyle. Imagine waking up steps from the village of Madison Park. Morning sun filters through towering windows, casting soft light across hardwood floors. Slip on your shoes and stroll one block, where cafés, restaurants, and the sparkling shores of Lake Washington await. Back home, double-height ceilings make every room feel open and alive. The primary suite feels like a private sanctuary, with his and hers bathrooms and closets. Four additional bedrooms offer space for guests, family, or whatever life brings next. The magic happens when you step into the garden — a lush, private oasis of blooming roses, flowering pots, and rustling leaves. Perfect for entertaining. Your own pocket of peace in the city.
