Located in the wonderful North Hill neighborhood, just one block from Normandy Park, this mid-century gem sits on a quiet dead-end street and offers the best of single-level living. Natural colored wood floors and cabinetry create an inviting, cozy atmosphere throughout.

The thoughtful layout includes 3 bedrooms and a full bath grouped together, plus a bonus room set apart with its own stylishly renovated en-suite bathroom—ideal for a roommate, guests, or a home office. A bonus room off the kitchen opens to a large covered deck, making it easy to entertain and enjoy the outdoor space any season of the year. The spacious, fully fenced backyard provides plenty of room to relax, garden or play and includes a convenient storage shed. Freshly painted interior, new water heater & washer/dryer. Close proximity to transit, shopping, the marina, waterfront parks, and the many fantastic restaurants in Des Moines, Normandy Park, and Burien. Just 15 miles to Downtown Seattle, near the light rail on 200th, and less than 4 miles to Sea-Tac Airport, this is one you won’t want to miss! Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
