Previous buyer got cold feet. Perched above a quiet Burien street in a setting that feels wonderfully hidden, this storybook 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers the kind of privacy that’s hard to find. The front door can't be seen from the street & the 13,427 sq ft lot is wrapped in mature landscaping, creating a peaceful place to settle in, garden, listen to birds & enjoy a slower start to the day. Inside, original hardwood floors bring warmth & character, while the updated kitchen and bathroom add the ease of modern living. A sweet bay window in the kitchen, vaulted ceilings in the dining area & charming nooks throughout give the home personality & depth. Just off the primary bedroom, a low-maintenance composite patio feels like the perfect spot for morning coffee, unwinding in the evenings, or watching the backyard come to life. Downstairs, an additional 150 unfinished sq ft in the utility/storage area gives you practical space for everyday needs. The deep 1-car garage is ideal for storing bikes, tools, outdoor gear, or hobby supplies, while the attached covered carport & separate shop space add even more flexibility. Only 3 blocks from North SeaTac Park, you’ll love having walking trails, sports fields, a play area & open green space so close to home. SeaTac Airport is minutes away. Enjoy quick access to downtown Burien for great restaurants & coffee shops, plus an easy commute to downtown Seattle. This is a special starter home with privacy & character. Watch the video!
