Tucked away on a quiet, traffic-restricted street, this peaceful light-filled home sits on a generous 8,323 sq ft lot. Just two blocks off Lake City Way, you can take a short 2-block walk to grocery stores, the Post Office, and local staples like Elliott Bay Brewery and Toyoda Sushi. Commuting is a breeze with direct bus lines to downtown, plus Northgate and 130th Street light rail stations both less than two miles away. Extensively remodeled down to the studs with high-efficiency insulation, the home showcases vaulted ceilings, skylights, sleek recessed LED lighting, and an open-concept layout anchored by a cozy wood-burning fireplace. French doors open to the back patio from both the primary bedroom and the main living area. The functional floor plan includes a spacious primary suite, a charming second bedroom, and updated appliances throughout (under 5 years old). Outside, a large, fully insulated garage workshop offers endless versatility or prime potential for an ADU conversion. Some photos are virtually staged.
