Inside, fresh paint and beautifully refinished hardwoods create a warm, welcoming feel, while the versatile rec room provides space for a media room, playroom, or guest area. Raised garden beds in the front add curb appeal and character, and the spacious backyard is perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying summer evenings. The detached 2-car garage offers great flexibility—ideal for parking, a workshop, or storing toys and gear—plus plenty of additional parking. Enjoy deeded access to the Lake Forest Park Civic Club, adding a true sense of community and lakefront lifestyle. Just minutes from the new Shoreline light rail stations (185th & 148th), offering convenient access to downtown Seattle, the Eastside, and Sea-Tac.
