About this home

Just a half block from Alki’s sandy beach, this renovated home pairs classic character with modern comfort in an unbeatable location. With 4 bedrooms, 2 baths and 1,514 square feet, there’s room to gather, unwind and enjoy beachside living. Built in 1950 and completely renovated in 2023, the home features oak hardwood floors, double-pane windows and abundant natural light. The open kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, creating a setting for meals and relaxed evenings. Electronic living room shades add convenience, while forced-air heat and Central AC add to provide year-round comfort. Downstairs, a family room, two bedrooms and a bathroom offer flexible space; the fourth bedroom is currently used as a walk-in closet. Outside, the fully fenced yard with turf invites lounging, outdoor dining and fresh air between beach outings. Two parking spaces off the alley make coming and going easy, and a new roof this year adds peace of mind. Stroll to Harry’s Beach House, Cactus and Alki Coffee, or catch the sunset along the shore. The new Alki Elementary, popular Whale Tail Park and Alki Playfield are just a few blocks away, while the water taxi shuttle at the end of the street adds another convenient way to get around. From coffee close to home to afternoons on the sand, this location puts neighborhood favorites within easy reach. Enjoy the space, comfort and outdoor living you love, with the beach just moments from your door. Settle in and make the most of life in Alki.
