Welcome to 16601 8th Ave SW, a spacious and private mid-century home on a quiet dead-end street, making its first market appearance in 10 years. Freshly painted inside and out and thoughtfully landscaped, this home is ready for its next chapter, offering a comfortable blend of classic character and practical updates throughout. The main level features three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a 3/4 bath, plus an updated full bath, while the kitchen opens effortlessly into the living and dining rooms for easy everyday living and entertaining. Hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace warm the living room, and French doors off the dining room lead to a new deck with territorial views. Downstairs, a roomy family room with a second fireplace is joined by two non-conforming bedrooms, offering flexible space for guests, hobbies, storage, or a home office. Recent improvements include a new side-yard fence, raised garden beds, an irrigation system, and a new oil tank. Ideally located near PCC, Trader Joe's, freeways, the airport, and downtown, this home puts everyday conveniences and commuting routes within easy reach.
