About this home

Classic 1930's charm meets impactful modern updates in this beautifully maintained Rainier Beach gem, tucked at the end of a dead-end street for the most perfectly peaceful location. Extensively updated for long-term ease & peace of mind, you can simply turn the key, move in & enjoy newer plumbing, electrical, insulation, paint, roof/gutters, flooring, appliances, windows & an efficient heat pump/mini-split system for both heat & A/C. Savor peekaboo views of the Cascade Mtns, Lake WA, downtown Bellevue's skyline and, on a clear day, majestic Mount Baker - all from the comfort of home! Built with the perfect floor plan for everyday functionality & easy hosting, w/ living/dining spaces flowing together effortlessly then into a sleek updated kitchen or out onto a newly restained deck, ready for end-of-summer BBQs & sunset happy hours. Thoughtfully laid-out w/ 3 bedrooms & 1.75 beautifully refreshed bathrooms. From the daylight basement, step out onto the sun-drenched patio overlooking the fully fenced yard w/ raised garden beds, a handy storage shed & antimicrobial turf lawn - low-maintenance & great for pets! An additional storage room can be found off the lower bathroom. Plenty of off-street parking, bus 107 at the end of the street, & the Chief Sealth trail right in your backyard! Conveniently close to the beloved Kubota Gardens, light rail, I-5, great restaurants & more. A rare blend of character, comfort, and smart investment in a fantastic neighborhood.
