About this home

A truly rare find in the heart of West Seattle’s Fairmount Park community. This storybook residence blends classic charm with exceptional flexibility. Purchase the home independently, or pair it with the adjacent townhome to create a unique duplex style arrangement with two separate residences and no shared walls. Live in one while generating rental income from the other, create a multigenerational setup, or hold both as a long term investment in one of West Seattle’s most appealing neighborhoods. The home itself is warm, inviting and filled with natural light, with a covered front porch, flexible living spaces and a generous outdoor setting ideal for quiet mornings, summer evenings and gathering with friends. Recent improvements add comfort and confidence while preserving the character that makes the home so special. Fairmount Park Elementary and Fairmount Playfield are just moments away, while the Alaska and Morgan Junctions, Camp Long, Lincoln Park, the Fauntleroy Ferry Terminal and convenient access to downtown place the best of West Seattle within easy reach. A charming home on its own, with the added potential to create something truly distinctive next door.
