When the Huffington Post recently republished a list titled “15 Reasons Why You Should Move to Seattle Immediately, None of Which Involve the Space Needle” – it had a bit of West Seattle flavor. Niederberger Contracting (WSB sponsor) was surprised to find out a photo of its recent remodeling project was part of the list – illustrating “#13: You could live in this adorable Craftsman.”

The house isn’t identified or labeled in the list, so apparently someone working on it just randomly found the photo. It’s in North Admiral, at 1729 41st SW, and currently listed for sale after being “re-built for modern living” – preserving its Craftsman charm, instead of tearing it down and building something else – by Niederberger Contracting’s proprietors, who are also the 1905 house’s current owners.

Other West Seattle-ish touches we noted: Right before the house, the list also includes: “#11: Your daily commute could include whale watching. (Water taxis!)” – very West Seattle, of course. No photo, but we have one with a Water Taxi view taken just this week:

And then there’s “#12: And you could see an active volcano from, like, your backyard.” More than a few West Seattle backyards have Mount Rainier views, and some get Mount Baker on clear days. Which, as the last item on the list points out, can be a bit scarce.
