About this home

Big House. Big Views. This 1950 West Seattle original has room to spread your wings— At 3,170 sq ft, spaces are generous & flexible. The main floor offers a bright living room, refinished oak floors & cozy fireplace, leading into a seriously spacious dining room ready for your Thanksgiving crowd. Down the hall are 2 bedrooms, including an en-suite, and another bath, giving options for guests, WFH or daily life on one level. Up, the primary suite takes full advantage of its perch with sweeping Puget Sound & Olympic Mountain views, a private deck and luxe spa bath with heated floors. The adjoining media/flex space gets a big deck of its own—an ideal 2nd hangout with sunsets as the backdrop. Down, a 4th bedroom doubles easily as another media/flex, with a half bath & huge storage. An impressive floor plan across 3 levels where everyone can gather or have much deserved time alone. An 8,700 sq ft lot & extra-long driveway leave room for cars, Sprinter vans, hoops and whatever else you bring home. Paid-off solar, heat pump with AC and updated systems. Genesee Hill- a friendly, tight-knit neighborhood where people know each other—and all their pups, too. A quick stroll to the best West Seattle amenities- Alaska Junction, farmers market, restaurants, shops & parks, with Alki Beach, salt air & sea breezes just down the hill.
