Tucked into the heart of Beacon Hill, this beautifully updated Craftsman feels like home the moment you arrive through the arched entryway. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms plus a flexible bonus room perfect for a home office, guest space, or creative use, along with 1.75 bathrooms and a finished basement offering extra flexibility. Thoughtful updates between 2019–2025 include a remodeled kitchen, new siding and exterior paint, updated interior paint, lower-level carpeting, a new furnace and water heater, and radiant heated floors in the main floor bathroom. French doors open to a spacious deck overlooking a fully fenced backyard with mature landscaping, ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or everyday outdoor living. The treed front yard with fresh sod and a peek-a-boo Mt. Rainier view adds to the home’s welcoming presence. You'll enjoy morning coffee on the deck, evenings with friends flowing easily from inside to out, and weekends spent going to local restaurants, coffee shops, and cafés like Flora Bakehouse (just a block away!), farmers markets, and parks. Easy access to I-5, I-90, and downtown Seattle. A home that offers comfort, flexibility, and connection in one of Seattle’s most central locations. Pre-inspected and up to a 1% credit toward closing costs with preferred lender!
