Property Description
In their 1966 hit California Dreamin', The Mamas & the Papas captured a longing for warmth, comfort, and the familiarity of home. That same feeling welcomes you the moment you step inside this airy Mid-Mod jewel in Gatewood. Generous windows sweep across the south-facing great room, flooding the space with natural light and highlighting vaulted, beamed ceilings and original hardwood floors. Designed for seamless flow, the circular main level centers around a brick fireplace and features a modern kitchen, main-floor laundry, and abundant storage. An elevated deck off the dining room invites morning coffee, evening cocktails, and a natural connection to the neighborhood. Three bedrooms (one with an attached ½ bath) anchor this level, while two additional bedrooms downstairs provide remarkable flexibility. The lower level easily lives as an extension of the home-ideal for a media room, guest retreat, multigenerational living, or dedicated workspace. Alternatively, it functions as a separate attached dwelling unit with a full second kitchen, laundry, private entrance, and city-registered rental status-perfect for short- or long-term income potential. A fully fenced yard and expansive patio create space for lively gatherings or peaceful retreat. Thoughtful updates honor the home's Mid-Century roots while delivering modern comfort. Just minutes to Alaska Junction, Fauntleroy Ferry, White Center, and Westwood Village.
