This modern Upper Rainier Beach home offers a sophisticated balance of open-concept living and architectural character. The main floor features a sunken living room anchored by soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and a fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the dining area and an updated kitchen. For those who prioritize indoor-outdoor flow, French doors open to a dining deck, while a separate back door leads to a large private patio. A raised open office overlooks the living room, providing a dedicated work area without sacrificing the home’s open feel. The upper level includes two bedrooms, notably a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a unique glass block feature wall. Complete with a lower-level family room, an extra-deep garage, and bathrooms on each level, this home is as functional as it is aesthetic. Ideally located between nature and city, just steps away from the Dead Horse Canyon trails and minutes to the Upper Rainier Beach Business District, Renton’s local amenities, and easy 1-5 access. Come check this one out!
