About this home
Seattle Built Homes introduces an exceptional townhome in the heart of West Seattle. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, the main level unfolds as an open, light-filled space anchored by a wonderful kitchen — quartz peninsula, premium Whirlpool appliance suite, and a layout made for effortless entertaining. Ascend to the second floor, where two well-proportioned bedrooms share a beautiful full bath. The top floor is reserved entirely for the primary suite, paired with a dedicated office nook for those who value both privacy and versatility. Above it all, a private rooftop deck delivers a wonderful outdoor space — your own retreat above the city. Energy-efficient mini-split systems ensure refined comfort in every season. Set in one of West Seattle's most coveted pockets, this home places you just blocks from the Alaska Junction and everything that makes the neighborhood so sought-after: Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, the weekly farmer's market, and much more, all within easy reach. California Ave's vibrant mix of shops, cafes, and restaurants awaits at your doorstep, with effortless bus access and a quick connection across the bridge for downtown commuters. Designated off-street parking completes this rare offering.
