Perched above the street in Shoreline's Ridgecrest neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath rambler has been owned by the same family for decades, true pride of ownership throughout. Set back and elevated from the road, the home offers a sense of privacy paired with everyday convenience. Alley access behind the property adds flexibility for parking, storage, or future potential, while the attached garage's generous 470 sq ft provides extra room for a workshop, storage, or hobby space beyond vehicle parking, complete with a workbench and additional cabinet storage. A strong opportunity to customize, with multiple possible paths forward: move-in ready starter home, buy-and-hold investment, or an addition to expand the existing footprint (buyer to verify feasibility). Conveniently located near parks, light rail, and freeway access, with schools within walking distance. Additional features include hardwood floors throughout, a fully fenced yard, clean white vinyl exterior, a backyard patio, and mature landscaping, a 100-year-old cedar, Japanese maple, hydrangeas, and ferns along a rocked pathway with stepping stones (slight slope to garden). The kitchen was remodeled and space maximized in 1998. Utilities are located in the garage; furnace is in the crawl space for a clean floor plan.
