About this home

Crush it in this Crown Hill home! Enter past the PNW plant-filled front yard and onto the main floor to discover gleaming hardwood floors and abundant natural light. Throughout, period details enliven this bright home, such as a built-in bookcase in the living room and charming light fixtures in the first bedroom. Next, find a second bedroom and a full bath, complete with a chic claw-foot bathtub and period tiling. Continuing through the home you’ll discover a roomy kitchen and a sunny eating nook— the ideal spaces for feasts both grand and grab-and-go. The kitchen offers access to the backyard, which is fully fenced and features a deck and an entertaining-friendly stone patio. Alley access and a detached one-car garage is a highlight of the home, offering DADU potential, while the basement offers even more multifaceted possibilities. Currently featuring a laundry area and loads of room for additional living space, the basement is also a great opportunity for an ADU.
