About this home

Single-story living with an updated kitchen and remodeled bath, on a private, wooded large lot in the heart of Seattle. The lot offers expansion potential, including up to two DADUs and additional housing options under new zoning (buyer to verify with the City of Seattle). This secluded rambler features hardwood floors, two spacious bedrooms and four walk-in closets, all on one level. Stone countertops anchor the kitchen, which opens through French doors to a 500 sq ft deck. Updates include ductless mini splits for air conditioning (AC) and a tankless water heater. Perched above the street, the relatively level grounds are made for outdoor entertaining, with a stone fire pit and sitting area, both plumbed for natural gas, among mature landscaping. Host friends on the deck, gather around the fire as the sun sets, then stroll the winding trails and make sure to keep binoculars handy to witness the 68 recorded bird species.
