Central District Home | Updated Kitchen + Flexible Bonus & Creative Space
Welcome home to this charming and thoughtfully updated single-family residence in Seattle's vibrant Central District. Blending classic Seattle character with meaningful modern improvements, this home offers abundant natural light, flexible living space, and convenient access to Downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, First Hill, Seattle University, and the International District.
Recent improvements include a beautifully updated kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, appliances, and updated lighting, along with new energy-efficient windows throughout the upstairs. These upgrades create a fresh and comfortable living environment while preserving the character and versatility that make this home distinctive.
The main level features two bedrooms, a spacious living room with decorative fireplace, a full bathroom, and the newly updated kitchen. Large windows provide excellent natural light throughout the primary living areas.
The lower level adds exceptional flexibility with two separate bonus rooms that can accommodate a variety of uses, including a home office, studio, workshop, fitness area, hobby room, or additional storage. A dedicated laundry area with utility sink, shelving, and additional storage further enhances the home's functionality.
For residents who need space for bicycles, outdoor equipment, creative projects, tools, or hobbies, the combination of lower-level bonus rooms and additional garage/storage space provides flexibility that can be difficult to find in a traditional two-bedroom rental.
The property is conveniently located near Seattle University, Swedish Medical Center's Cherry Hill campus, neighborhood restaurants and shops, public transportation, and everyday services. Downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, First Hill, the International District, Lumen Field, and T-Mobile Park are also easily accessible.
