About this home

Classic mid-century character meets thoughtful modern updates in this inviting North Hill home, where comfortable living and exceptional versatility come together. Fresh interior and exterior paint, new carpeting, smart lighting, and hardwood floors create a welcoming first impression. The circular floor plan flows effortlessly from the spacious living room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and a row of windows overlooking the deck and territorial views, to the dining area with direct access outdoors. A remodeled kitchen brings fresh appeal to everyday living. Downstairs, the daylight basement offers exciting possibilities with its own entrance and driveway, a kitchenette, generous bonus room, bedroom, 3/4 bath, and second wood-burning fireplace. Ideal for extended living or potential ADU use, subject to approval. Modern conveniences include fiber optic internet, smart washer and dryer, digital or fingerprint entry, updated PEX-B plumbing, and an innovative upstairs bath with an electronic toilet. An 85-inch television and Bose sound system are included. Beyond the front door, enjoy easy access to the marina, Saltwater State Park, Angle Lake, golf, and local dog parks. With Highway 509, I-5, light rail, and Sea-Tac Airport nearby, connections to Seattle and Tacoma are equally convenient. A home with timeless appeal, meaningful updates, and room for life's changing needs.
