About this home

Classic mid-century style and sensibility in this Upper Rainier Beach home! Four bedrooms and an astounding four baths–one full, one 3/4, and two half baths. Garage, huge yard, privacy, and lovely views of greenery and even the lake–this one has it all. Upper level main entry to kitchen, dining, and living space with a wood burning fireplace and view deck. Three bedrooms and a remodeled hall bath grouped in one wing, with an additional half bath inside the primary. Bright lower level provides MIL/ADU potential with a large rec room, bedroom with remodeled ensuite bathroom, and many storage closets. Half bath near the garage is a perfect mud room. Garage has an EV charging plug and room for car/bikes/gear/workshop. Brimming with possibilities, the hardest work has been done for you: new heat pump w AC, deck, fence, exterior paint, and updated electrical w 220 amp panel. Rising above the street on a quiet hilltop block, the surrounding topography creates a remarkable sense of separation. No random remodeling or puzzling curb appeal here–iconic style and architectural integrity intact. Easy access to bus lines, light rail, and beloved cafes where URB residents mingle–Redwing, Jude’s. Walk to parks, schools, grocery store, public library, community center with indoor pools, lazy river, water slides! Lake swimming just a half mile away. Bike to Kubota Garden to commune with nature, then hit the Chief Sealth Trail all the way to Jefferson Park.
