About this home

A move-in-ready home, an expansive fully fenced lot, a detached workshop and room to evolve. This Highland Park property offers far more flexibility than its footprint suggests. Inside, natural light, an open living and dining area, and two Dutch doors give the home an easy, welcoming feel. The remodeled kitchen features quartz counters, new cabinetry and SS appliances, complemented by fresh interior paint, new LVP flooring, new bedroom carpet and a refreshed bath. Beyond the finished living space, a full unfinished basement provides substantial storage, while the detached former garage offers dedicated space for bikes, tools, creative projects, a home gym or hobbies. Explore its future potential as a garage or DADU, subject to buyer verification. Outside, two decks, mature trees, a garden shed and a generous backyard create space to garden, gather, play or simply exhale. Recent improvements include newer siding, crawlspace insulation and vapor barrier, plus re-stained decks. The original operable windows will be replaced with double-pane windows before closing. Near Westwood Village, parks, downtown Seattle and major commuter routes. The space you didn't expect, with possibilities you can grow into.
