About this home
Olympic Mountain views shine by day and sunsets fill your night from this enchanting craftsman on Phinney Ridge. West-facing outlook over Ballard and an expansive sunny backyard with multiple patios, garden space and tiered levels of outdoor enjoyment. Classic features throughout - coved ceilings, special built-ins, wainscoting and an enclosed front porch. Large living room features a charming fireplace flanked by display shelves, sweet windows and original hardwood floors. Bright open kitchen offers great cabinet storage, while the WOW-factor is in the dining room with a bay window overlooking it all. 2 generous bedrooms and an updated - yet still charming - full bath complete the main level. Spacious daylight basement offers a great 3rd bedroom or additional living space potential with built-in shelves, laundry with new washer, office space and a shop - lots of possibilities. Plus, direct access to the wonderful backyard adds even more flexibility. Seller updates include newer hybrid gas furnace and heat pump (air-conditioning), plumbing, whole house electrical and roof. Attached garage is ready for an EV charger. Excellent Phinney Ridge location - near Woodland Park Zoo, pocket parks, Ballard, Fremont, great transit and an easy commute.
