2616 44th Ave SW

Upgraded second Floor 1- bedroom apartment in the center of the Admiral District. This corner-unit apartment has several large openable windows letting in plenty of natural light. The covered deck at the northwest corner is located by the kitchen and living room. Watch the sky change colors as the sun sets while remaining cool in the shade of large catsura trees. This quiet 7-unit apartment building was built in the late 1990s. This unit has many recent updates: new windows, new flooring throughout, faux-wood blinds, new quartz countertops in the kitchen and bathroom, and recently painted cabinets. The kitchen really is a dream space for an apartment this size. Far more cabinets than any comparable apartment, and thoughtfully laid out as well. The kitchen is large enough for two cooks to prepare a feast or party snacks, then entertain on the private deck. And LOCATION! Incredible location!! Restaurants of every cuisine within 2 blocks. Walk home from a night out at the Admiral Pub or Good Society brewery. The list goes on: coffee shops, Safeway across the street, Metropolitan Market, Bartel Drugs, Admiral movie Theater, various spas, salons, and a gym -- all within 2 blocks. Hiawatha Playfield, tennis courts and community center are about a block away. Or grab a scooter and soon you're at Schmitz Park (50 acres with old growth and hiking trails), Alki Beach, or the Alaska Junction. 4 bus routes are right around the corner.
