Property Description
Perched above a quiet Burien street in a setting that feels wonderfully hidden, this storybook 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the kind of privacy that's hard to find. The front door cannot be seen from the street, and the 13,427 sq ft lot is wrapped in mature landscaping, creating a peaceful place to settle in, garden, listen to the birds, and enjoy a slower start to the day. Inside, original hardwood floors bring warmth and character, while the updated kitchen and bathroom add the ease of modern living. A sweet bay window in the kitchen, vaulted ceilings in the dining area, and charming nooks throughout give the home personality and depth. Just off the primary bedroom, a low-maintenance composite patio feels like the perfect spot for morning coffee, unwinding in the evenings, or watching the backyard come to life. Downstairs, an additional 150 unfinished sq ft in the utility/storage area gives you practical space for everyday needs. The deep 1-car garage is ideal for storing bikes, tools, outdoor gear, or hobby supplies, while the attached covered carport and separate shop space add even more flexibility. Only 3 blocks from North SeaTac Park, you'll love having walking trails, sports fields, a play area, and open green space so close to home. SeaTac Airport is minutes away. Enjoy quick access to downtown Burien for great restaurants and coffee shops, plus an easy commute to downtown Seattle, this is a special starter home with privacy, character, and room to make it your own.
