Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully updated home blends privacy, convenience, and an outdoor oasis that truly sets it apart. The backyard oasis is the star of the show - fully fenced and designed for relaxation and entertaining. Thick lush grass, beautiful towering trees, rock walls/borders, blooming hydrangeas, spring trilliums, mature rhododendrons, a dedicated fire-pit area, greenhouse, garden space, kid play house, tool shed, and a large entertaining deck all create a peaceful retreat you won’t find anywhere else. Whether hosting friends, enjoying quiet mornings, or letting kids explore, the space delivers unmatched tranquility. Inside, the home is filled with natural light thanks to oversized windows throughout, giving every room a warm, inviting feel. The updated basement adds flexible living space. Commuters will love the unbeatable location: less than 10 minutes to the Star Lake light rail station for easy Seattle access, and equally close to I-5 and 167. RV/Sprinter-van owners will appreciate the dedicated parking area. You’re also just minutes away from Redondo Boardwalk, Saltwater State Park, and Dash Point State Park for beach walks, sunsets, and waterfront recreation. Highly rated and newly rebuilt Thomas Jefferson High School is just down the road. Major upgrades add peace of mind: a new roof and new septic system. This home offers the perfect combination of privacy, convenience, and outdoor living - a rare find in today's market.
