This one really does check all the boxes! Tucked in on a quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac in Highland Park, this beautifully updated home blends warmth, character and flexibility in all the right ways. Come through the fully fenced yard into a welcoming living room with hardwood floors and a striking natural stone gas fireplace. Thoughtful updates throughout highlight the home’s original charm, including gorgeous wood cabinetry. The kitchen offers new appliances, eating space, connects to the formal dining room, and opens to the back deck through an adorable Dutch door. The main level features 3 spacious bedrooms and a full bath with double sinks. Central vacuum, too. The daylight lower level adds a large second living area, ¾ bath with w/d hookups, and a flexible bonus room with two closets—perfect for a home gym, office, studio, media room, or extra storage. Attached deep 536 sf 2-car garage has a half bath, utility sink and washer/dryer. Level fenced backyard with gated alley access and parking pad. Quiet, non-through street in a location that makes getting anywhere from West Seattle refreshingly easy. Lovingly cared for and ready for its next chapter.
