Spring has arrived in West Seattle’s Genesee neighborhood. Grab a morning coffee at Olympia, dinner at Raccolto, or wander the trails of Schmitz Park just blocks from home. Puget Sound is about a mile away, while the West Seattle Bridge keeps the rest of the city within easy reach. Inside, this classic Seattle home is warm and welcoming with oak hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and a layout that lives easily with three bedrooms on the main and a fourth below. The main bath has been refreshed with all new tub/shower, including tile and fixtures. Downstairs, a generous den invites movie nights, game days or guests. Plus appliance upgrades- washer/dryer, dishwasher, refrigerator- updated wiring, new 125-amp panel and Cat 5 ethernet make working from home seamless. Outside, a sunny deck off the kitchen opens to a leafy PNW garden, with mature trees and a detached studio perfect for workouts or hobbies. Fully fenced with alley access and off-street parking— this is an easygoing West Seattle retreat.
