Step Into Timeless Craftsman Luxury
Discover a rare opportunity to own an authentic 1920s Craftsman home in the heart of Downtown Issaquah—where historic character meets modern convenience. This meticulously maintained residence at 250 SE Andrews Street represents everything collectors of period architecture seek: original millwork that showcases the craftsmanship of a bygone era, a gabled roofline with classic lap siding that commands attention, and architectural details you simply cannot replicate in new construction.
From the welcoming front porch to the warm interior spaces bathed in natural light from expansive double-pane windows, every corner of this home tells a story. The main floor features flexible living spaces including a dedicated den or guest room with three-quarter bath—perfect for multi-generational living, home office flexibility, or hosting out-of-town guests. Ascend to the second floor where the primary suite awaits with a generous walk-in closet and full bathroom, accompanied by additional bedrooms and the convenience of second-floor laundry.
What Makes This Home Exceptional
Beyond the architectural significance, this property sits on a generous 6,000 square foot lot—extraordinarily rare for Downtown Issaquah. The partially fenced yard offers privacy and versatility, featuring manicured gardens, mature landscaping, and a detached workshop that could serve as a home gym, art studio, or storage solution. Most importantly, you're just blocks from everything Downtown Issaquah offers: award-winning restaurants, boutique shops at Gilman Village, Front Street Market, community events like Salmon Days Festival, and miles of scenic trails—all accessible on foot.
This is more than a home purchase—it's an investment in a lifestyle that prioritizes community, character, and convenience. No HOA fees. No cookie-cutter floor plans. No sacrificing space for location. Just authentic Craftsman charm in one of the Pacific Northwest's most desirable walkable neighborhoods.

A Home With History: The 1920s Craftsman Story
Built in 1900 and embodying the classic 1920s Craftsman aesthetic, this home represents an era when quality and craftsmanship trumped speed and efficiency. The Craftsman movement emerged as a response to the Industrial Revolution, emphasizing handcrafted details, natural materials, and functional beauty—principles visible in every corner of 250 SE Andrews Street.
During this period, Issaquah was transforming from a coal mining town into a thriving community. The homes built during this era, like yours, were constructed by skilled artisans who took pride in their work—evident in the original millwork, beam ceilings, and architectural details that have survived over a century. This isn't just a house; it's a tangible connection to Pacific Northwest history.
Today, authentic Craftsman homes in walkable urban cores are increasingly rare. Most have been torn down for new development or are locked in historic districts with restrictive renovation rules. This property offers the best of both worlds: preservation-quality character with the freedom to make it your own.
