Comfortable, convenient, and private, this charming West Seattle bungalow sits on a tranquil lot with serene territorial outlooks and exciting future potential. Whether you choose to expand the existing home, explore development opportunities for multiple new homes, or simply enjoy the efficient and thoughtfully updated residence as-is, this property offers exceptional flexibility. Recent improvements include newer electrical and plumbing systems, water heater, windows, flooring, kitchen cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances including dishwasher, microwave, hood vent, and sink. Outdoor living shines with an oversized private patio and pergola—perfect for relaxing or entertaining—plus the rare bonus of a vintage range/oven for inspired cooking. A 1-car garage provides ideal storage for a small vehicle, bikes, kayaks, and outdoor gear, while the extended driveway easily accommodates multiple vehicles, an RV, or camper. The unfinished basement offers abundant additional space for a workshop, storage, hobbies, or future customization. A unique opportunity in a peaceful West Seattle setting with room to live, grow, and invest. Just steps from Soundway Park in the West Duwamish Greenbelt with connecting trails leading toward South Seattle College and Riverview Playfield. Easy access to Alki, Westcrest Dog Park, Westwood Village, Delridge (express transit), & the West Seattle Bridge to quickly get to downtown Seattle or Sea-Tac Airport via Highway 99 or 509 & I-5.
