If you love homes with history and personality but still want the comfort of modern updates, Northwest Spokane offers an appealing mix of both. Established neighborhoods, mature surroundings, local parks, and convenient access to everyday amenities make this part of Spokane an interesting option for buyers who prefer character over newer, cookie-cutter construction.
My newest listing at 1724 W Cleveland Ave is a great example. Built in 1920, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath home preserves many of the details that give older Spokane homes their charm, while thoughtful updates make it comfortable for today’s lifestyle.
Why Buyers Enjoy Northwest Spokane
Northwest Spokane is known for its established residential neighborhoods and convenient location. From this part of the city, residents have access to shopping and dining along Northwest Boulevard and nearby Monroe Street, while downtown Spokane is just a short drive away.
Outdoor recreation is also close at hand. Audubon Park offers mature trees, open lawns, playgrounds, sports courts, and space to enjoy the outdoors, while nearby Downriver Golf Course and the Spokane River add even more recreational options.
It’s an area where you can enjoy the character of an older Spokane neighborhood without giving up easy access to the rest of the city.

Rather than trying to make this 1920 home look brand new, the updates complement what makes it special in the first place.
A Kitchen With Personality
The spacious kitchen offers plenty of cabinet and counter space, but what really makes it memorable are the vintage-inspired touches of orange, green, and yellow.
Those nostalgic details bring a playful retro feel to the room while fitting naturally with the home’s history. There’s plenty of room for everyday cooking and storage, making the kitchen both functional and full of personality.
Nearby, an enclosed porch provides dedicated space for the washer and dryer while also creating a sunny spot that could work beautifully for plants or a small indoor garden.
Outdoor Space, Garage & Room for Projects
The property sits on approximately 0.14 acres with a fenced backyard and garden area, giving you usable outdoor space without an overwhelming amount of maintenance.
A detached 2-car garage with workshop space is a particularly useful feature for a home of this size. There’s also an additional carport, providing even more flexibility for parking, storage, hobbies, or projects.
The exterior has received fresh paint, and the property includes a patio and public water and sewer connections.
Old-House Charm With Practical Updates
Part of the appeal of an older Spokane home is finding one where the original character hasn’t disappeared through years of renovations.
At 1724 W Cleveland Ave, details such as the hardwood floors and built-ins still tell the story of the home’s 1920s roots, while improvements to the bathroom, HVAC, sewer, paint, and other areas address many of the practical things today’s buyers are looking for.
The unfinished basement also provides additional storage and future possibilities beyond the home’s finished living space.
