About this home

Tucked away on a quiet, secluded street minutes from the West Seattle Junction, this home pairs everyday comfort with meaningful updates throughout. The brand new kitchen highlights the main level with a farmhouse sink, quartz counters, shaker cabinets, and an induction range flowing into a dining and living space warmed by a wood-burning stove insert. The primary suite offers a private en suite bath, and a second en suite/guest bath adds flexibility for visitors. Downstairs features a bedroom, living area and 3/4 bath for a private retreat or guest space. New furnace and heat pump installed keep the home comfortable year-round, complemented by automatic blinds on the main floor and an EV charger in the 2-car garage. The backyard has a new fence, PVC deck and is wired and ready for your new hot tub - a perfect urban oasis! All this just minutes from Ercolini Park, Genesee Elementary, Schmitz Preserve Park, and Alki Beach. West Seattle living at its best!
