ABOUT THIS PROPERTY

Beautifully reimagined and move-in ready, this West Seattle retreat pairs thoughtful updates with unforgettable views of Puget Sound, Vashon Island, and the Olympic Mountains. Fresh interior paint, new carpet, and refreshed landscaping have thoughtfully transformed the home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from the moment you arrive. With 1,920 square feet of inviting living space, the home features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a functional layout designed for comfortable everyday living. Newer Andersen windows fill the home with natural light while perfectly framing the panoramic views beyond. Step outside to the expansive deck, where morning coffee and spectacular sunsets become part of your daily routine. Watch ferries come and go, ships glide across the Sound, and wildlife make regular appearances, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Olympic Mountains and the islands of Puget Sound. The spacious lower-level family room provides wonderful flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or working from home. Additional updates include a beautifully remodeled bathroom, new washer and dryer, an updated deck, a 50-year roof, and solar panels for energy efficiency and lower utility costs.
