Footnotes

1. Living Room
   
   Light-filled and open, the living room enjoys refinished oak hardwoods and a wood-burning fireplace.
   
   A perfect circle: the living room, dining room and kitchen have a wonderful, circular flow...
2. Brand new vinyl windows exist throughout the entire home.
3. There's even a little entry nook complete with coat closet, before entering the living room from the front door.
4. Dining Room
   
   From the dining room, you can peek at the garden/orchard. See where your salad just came from...
   
   
5. Kitchen
   
   Compact, efficient and fun! The kitchen offers a quartet of newer appliances (d/w, range/oven, refrigerator and microwave. The floor's a festive checker-pattern of a new-yet-retro linoleum material called "C.V.T." (composite vinyl tile). A brand new back door opens to the barbeque deck.
   
   
6. Bedrooms
   
   The main level features two spacious bedrooms (one larger than the other), blanketed with refinished oak hardwoods. Light-letting new vinyl windows throughout...
   
   The larger of the two bedrooms (located in NE corner of house).
7. The second bedroom (located in NW corner of house).
8. The King County Tax Record calls this basement room a third bedroom. However, it has no windows or closet. It would make a great den/office, and has a full bathroom adjacent to it.
9. Bathrooms
   
   The main floor bathroom is all-original and retro-kitsch at its finest!
   
   Main floor bathroom. Tons of storage in the cabinets below...
10. A second, full bathroom exists in the basement just off the den/office.
11. Family Room
    
    Two good-sized windows bring lots of light into the fully finished family room in the basement. Great for multimedia, as there's a built-in desk just to the right.
    
    
12. Laundry Area
    
    The laundry room features a utility sink, folding table/cabinet and best-yet: the new Maytag Neptunes* STAY! (*High efficiency and ultra swanky washer/dryer duo).
    
    The new Maytag Neptunes & well-located laundry sink.
13. The folding table and cabinets stay. In background is the newer 85% efficient oil furnace and air cleaning unit.
14. Deck
    
    A barbeque deck was built above the garage in 2002. Enjoy your morning coffee while peering over the garden/orchard...
    
    
15. Patio
    
    ...or sit among the blooms here in the patio.
    
    
16. Garden & Fruit Orchard
    
    The current owner "reclaimed" the 'veteran' garden and fruit trees. Now, enjoy Green Gage plums, Asian pears, and Gravenstein apples* from the mini-'orchard'.
    
    
17. The garden receives perfect western sunlight. There's even the original clothesline pole for the water-conscious-outdoor-fresh-scent person in you...
18. View from the garden...(before it was recently weeded)
19. Garage
    
    There's a one-car attached garage with newer, automatic door.
    
    
20. Steps to...Neighborhood Perks
    
    It's not just the house and the yard and the block...it's the community in which you are buying. Beacon Hill is coming up roses all around. Future Link Light Rail is just minutes away. Columbia City too. Which means dinners at La Medusa, take-out from Tutta Bella Trattoria and Jones BBQ, or coffee culture from Starbucks. Link Light Rail is almost here, plus the brand new Chief Sealth Trail, a future neighborhood P-Patch/Asian Garden nearby, fresh fruit stands, a soon-to-be-renovated Jefferson Park (think baseball diamond, city-view jogging path, basketball & tennis courts, park and more). Plus, you're a nine dollar cab ride to Safeco & Qwest Fields, the International District & Downtown...
    
    A staple of Columbia City and just minutes away...La Medusa is a must!
21. ...for when you're too lazy to harvest your own garden!
22. ...relax! Starbucks is just down the hill.
23. ...get away from it all with eighteen holes just up the street at the Jefferson Park Golf Course and driving range.
24. ...or escape with a good film...the 'old-fashioned' way (in a theater with popcorn).
25. Tutta Bella Trattoria. Wood-fired pizzas. Deelish pastas. For here or to go...
26. Just up the block is the entrance to the under-construction Chief Sealth Trail: a 3.6 mile multi-use path connecting Beacon Hill to the Rainier Valley. Dust off your in-line skates! Computer-generated rendering of Chief Sealth Trail, courtesy Wa. State Dept. of Transportation.
27. ...or just kick back with a local brew from Columbia City Alehouse.
28. This coffee house is just a few blocks away.
