About This Home

NOW OFFERING AN $8,000 SELLER CREDIT for strong offers! Use it toward a 2-1 interest rate buydown, closing costs, prepaid expenses, or the financing option that works best for you. Beautifully updated and move-in ready on an expansive, fully fenced lot, this bright, light-filled home lives larger than its footprint. Fresh interior paint, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, new bedroom carpet, and a stunning remodeled kitchen featuring quartz countertops, new cabinetry, and brand-new SS appliances make it easy to move right in. Recent improvements include newer siding, new crawlspace insulation, and vapor barrier. The unfinished basement provides abundant storage, while the detached workshop offers flexibility for hobbies today, and future potential as a garage or DADU. Enjoy a spacious deck, mature trees, a garden shed, and a backyard with room to garden, entertain, or simply relax. Recently refilled oil tank provides a head start on winter heating, and seller will replace the remaining original operable single-pane windows with new double-pane windows before closing. Ideally suited for first-time buyers, downsizers, or anyone seeking move-in-ready living without giving up outdoor space. Conveniently located near Westwood Village, parks, downtown Seattle, and major commuter routes.
