About this home

Tucked away in a peaceful setting, this beautifully maintained home offers an exceptional combination of privacy, space, and stunning Puget Sound views. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac shared by just three homes, the property enjoys a serene setting while remaining close to all the conveniences of city living. Spacious, light-filled interiors feature views of the Sound and passing ferries, a generous primary suite with private bath, formal dining room opening to the backyard deck, and two fireplaces. The versatile lower level includes a large recreation room with potential for a fourth bedroom. Lovingly maintained by just two owners, the home also offers a spacious two-car garage and additional off-street parking. Ideally located near the shops, restaurants, and cafés of the Alaska Junction, with easy access to neighborhood parks, Alki Beach, and all that West Seattle has to offer. A rare combination of peaceful seclusion and convenient in-city living!
