Welcome to this storybook cottage on a rare level corner lot at the top of the Gregory Heights plateau. This 2-bedroom charmer lives larger than its size & offers a fully updated interior which has retained its original Vintage essence. Spacious rooms filled with natural light generate a sense of well-being and ease. The generous kitchen, heart of the home, provides ample counter & cabinet space for cooking & entertaining. The main living area is large enough for multiple uses like dining, lounging & net-browsing. Step outside to discover the “secret garden,” the true gem of the property, with raised beds & planters for vegetables, herbs, & rhubarb + fruit-bearing trees & berry bushes. The sunny, fully fenced grounds provide flexible space for play, gardening, hobbies, & even parking a small boat—enhanced by a vacated back alley & convenient gated access. A large, detached fully insulated outbuilding functions beautifully as an office, studio, or extra storage. Ample parking between the garage & additional pad easily accommodates multiple guests. Zoned R-2, the property invites future possibilities: ADU/DADU potential, garage expansion, or exploring a vertical addition to capture Puget Sound & island views. Surrounded by well-kept homes in a peaceful, residential pocket— the property offers a quiet neighborhood, yet just minutes to shopping, dining, schools, parks, & commuter routes. A rare combination of charm, land, & long-term upside in sought-after community.
