The finished walk-out lower level adds valuable flex space for work, guests, hobbies, or entertainment. With updated siding, windows, heating, plumbing, and electrical, plus a completed pre-inspection and sewer scope, buyers can move in with confidence. The fully fenced, landscaped yard offers a peaceful retreat that feels worlds away from the city, yet you're moments from beloved cafés, restaurants, shops, parks, and transit. A truly central location with the charm, flexibility, and convenience Seattle buyers seek.
