Updated without erasing its classic roots, this home is turnkey bliss on a dead-end street just above Franklin Park and 1 block from Franklin elementary. Freshly painted inside and out including cabinetry and built-ins. Large living room with coved ceilings, oak floors & fireplace leads into the formal dining room with access to patio and awesome Mt Rainier view. All three main level bedrooms have beautiful oak floors and tons of natural light. The charming & welcoming kitchen exudes warmth with original tile counters, open shelves, sunny breakfast nook and a brand-new stainless appliance suite. Just beyond the kitchen is the huge laundry room with great light, tons of storage and work/prep sink. The 3/4 bath adjoins the laundry and is easily accessible for the occupant of the 4th bedroom just off the kitchen. That bedroom has numerous built-ins and new carpet. The entire yard is fenced and currently encompasses part of un-used 16th street. The landscaping is beautiful & mature. Being across the street from a park and situated at the end of the street makes this home a special quiet retreat. New electrical service & panel, 2 car garage and parking galore are big bonuses. Owner/Agent.
