About this home
Tucked into a quiet community in Columbia City, this 3-bedroom, 2.75-bath home offers light, layout, and location — all with no HOA. Built in 2017 with an open-concept design, this wide townhome lives larger than expected, with bright, versatile spaces that are easy to settle into. Expansive windows fill the main living area with natural light and frame a peaceful view over the adjacent greenbelt, while tall ceilings give a sense of openness rarely found at this size. The open kitchen features a large island, high-end Bosch appliances, and generous countertops, flowing easily into the living and dining areas — ideal for quiet mornings or hosting friends. The daylight lower level is another standout, with high ceilings, natural light, patio, bedroom, and bath. The top level features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a walk-in closet keeps the primary suite organized. Year-round comfort includes a ductless mini-split A/C and heat system and tankless water heater, while bamboo, cork, and ceramic tile flooring add warmth throughout. Dedicated parking is in back, with additional street parking available — no permit needed. Just blocks from Geraldine's Counter, the farmers market, Columbia City's shops, restaurants, and light rail, this home offers easy access to downtown while still feeling private and quiet in one of Seattle's most loved neighborhoods. Bright, spacious, and well located, this is a Columbia City home that rarely comes along.
