About this home
Welcome to this corner lot located at 97th and 5th Ave NE. All properties on the 5th Ave. side are situated on a block long bluff with a rock wall base. Access is only available through an alley with a shared dead-end driveway at 97th and 7th Ave NE. So, traffic and lack of privacy is not an issue. It is in walking distance to light rail, metro bus terminal, close to I-5, Northgate Mall, restaurants, and Thornton Place cinema is also nearby. Trader Joe's and other development plans are on the horizon. This home features beautiful quartz countertops, newer kitchen cabinetry, and hardwood throughout the main floor. Living room has large windows that let in daylight and keep out noise. The living room corner window has two sections meeting together for a combined 23' of view. There is an upstairs and downstairs fireplace, laundry room, and a spacious yard approximately 31' x 44'. A lot of storage space is included all throughout the house. Maple Leaf Reservoir Park is a recreational treasure with views of Mt. Rainier and the downtown skyline.
