This thoughtfully updated, charming Phinney home offers 4 bedrooms, 2.25 baths and most of its original character intact. Over the past few years, upgrades have touched nearly every corner, culminating in a bright, effortless living space. The kitchen has been reimagined with an open layout, stainless steel appliances, and seamless access to an expansive new composite deck that overlooks the back yard. Light-filled and tranquil, the home flows with a relaxed ambience that invites both everyday living and entertaining. The entire top floor now serves as a luxurious primary suite, featuring a renovated 3/4 bath, a newer mini-split system for comfort (A/C), and a sunny deck with generous southern exposure. All hardwood floors have been replaced, and the fully finished lower level gains brightness and flexibility with the addition of two large egress windows. A possible 5th bedroom on the lower level awaits only a closet, while a dedicated laundry room and a half bath complete this level. Additional conveniences include a single-car attached garage and an extra off-street spot. The neighborhood is a pedestrian’s dream, with Phinney, Green Lake, Ballard, and Crown Hill all within easy reach. Nearby, you’ll find parks, restaurants, retailers, grocers, and even a superb butcher just a few blocks away. There is so much to love in this welcoming community—it's the kind of place you’ll be excited to call home.
