Welcome to 918 East Hamlin Street
This impressive, 6 bedroom, 2.25 bath, 4910 square foot, double-gabled, Arts and Crafts home was designed by architect, Edward Merritt, of the high-profile Seattle firm, “Merritt, Hall & Merritt”, and constructed, in 1910, by its first resident owner, builder P.E. Wentworth. Second to enjoy this distinguished address was Real Estate mogul, James Elliott, whose family owned the home until 1935, subsequently helping to enshrine its historic designation as, “The Wentworth-Elliott House”.
A timeless example of quality construction and outstanding pride of ownership, this residential matriarch has, also, been lovingly and meticulously maintained. Recent artful touches include attractive new bath fixtures (by such superb names as Kallista and Waterworks), new heated flooring, new hardware and light fixtures, fresh paint, a newer roof, updated plumbing and electrical systems, and a host of other smart and tasteful upgrades. Honoring the home’s charming era and architecture, many of the original double-hung, wood-wrapped windows have even been painstakingly re-fitted with brand new sash cords.
Old-world craftsmanship has combined with well-chosen, modern virtues to make this refined, turn-of-the-century residence an enduring classic. A stately front porch belies the dramatic, 2-story entry, sumptuously dressed in a tapestry of rich fir, from gleaming wainscoting to stout trim for windows and doors, from thick, exposed box beams to fine staircase railings.
The main level, bathed in natural light, offers a first glance at the many spaces suited for both a comfortable lifestyle and easy entertaining, including a genteel, formal living room, and an impressive formal dining room.
Upstairs, all conveniently located on the same level, are 3 of the 6 bedrooms (including the large Master, with fireplace) and a stunning, new, full bath wrapped in an opulent sea of luxurious Carrera marble.
A fully-finished lower level offers a 4th bedroom and a stylishly re-imagined ¾ bath, plus a spacious media room and fantastic wet bar, allowing the versatility to be enjoyed as a family room, play room, guest suite or even as a separate nanny quarters.
The wonderfully-private top floor is where you’ll find the 5th and 6thbedrooms, along with peaceful, romantic views of the Montlake Cut and The Cascade Mountains.
Steeped in Antiquity, yet revitalized with inspiration and talent, it’s clear that this is a home that combines a distinguished pedigree with a tasteful, harmonious aesthetic. And, if every house has a story, it’s certain that many happy chapters remain to be written at 918 East Hamlin Street. Considerate of its venerable lineage, and lovingly maintained and enhanced by the current owners, “The Wentworth-Elliott House” is a heritage home with a rich history and a vibrant, joyful future.
