Not all updates are created equal. This Highland Park 2-bedroom, 1.75-bath home has the bones, the upgrades, and the story. New electrical panel, new retaining wall, new bedroom and bath heaters, new kitchen island, and freshly landscaped. Two fireplaces, one in the living area, one in the fully finished daylight basement, anchor plenty of living and entertaining space across two generous floors. But it's the details that set this home apart: a fireplace mantel of reclaimed old-growth fir salvaged from a decommissioned Ballard church, and a one-of-a-kind tile backsplash, featuring handmade dragonfly tiles by a Seattle artist. Step outside to a private terraced backyard built for growing, gathering, and playing, with garden beds alongside a patio perfect for entertaining, and even a swing. The great deck off the living area offers a spot to drink your favorite beverage, while sheltering the carport below. Attached garage, fully fenced, thoughtfully updated, and layered with character that can't be manufactured. This is West Seattle living with soul.
