Lower Apt. All Done — Upper Apt. Rented


The end result in the kitchen.

The last week of work on the Lower apartment was pretty demanding. But we did it, all but a few particulars, and B. and S. took possession on New Year's Eve. More on that in a moment …

Today, J. and J. delivered a deposit on the Upper apartment, and will move in with Dexter and Pasha come February 1. After all the trouble getting folks to look at the Lower, it was amazing to have more than one applicant for the Upper. Yeah! I did have to turn down a great couple, L & B, which is always upsetting. Luckily, they signed up on this site, and will be in line for one of the apartments if they come empty. There's a good bit of work to do to repair the apartment, and it looks as though we'll be able to pull it off without too much trouble. I'll blog that in days to come.

… now back to the report on the Lower in progress.

History of the Property

E-mail Print PDF

Built in 1915 in the craftsman style, the main building at 1929 10th Avenue West was originally a single-family dwelling.

A good quality craftsman, it features solid braces to the roof overhang and continuous, 28-foot old growth floor joists. Typically of the style, it is slightly reminiscent of a German hunting lodge, but with random classical features, such as the columns and braces on the front porch. The influence is subtle, but the period's love of Japanese woodcrafting can also be seen in the shingle skirt flipped up like a temple roof where the upper-story meets the lower. In the 1984 redesign, the heavy lattice in the gates and between the columns attempts to underline this Japanese influence. Japanese maples planted in the front court strengthen the impression.

Meet the Neighborhood

The apartments at 1929 are part of a small urban village that is the center point of the west slope of Queen Anne Hill.

One hundred feet or so from your new front door is an amiable coffeehouse, the Muse Coffee Company. Owned and run by the charming and debonair Brent, the Muse is a great place to get to know your neighbors. Right next door is a very nice specialty grocery and deli, The Icebox. At the Icebox, you can sit down for a very nice lunch, inside or on the sidewalk (hint: try the soup, whatever it is that day!).
