Behind a screen of mature front landscaping, this Genesee Hill charmer feels private and tucked away — yet it’s just blocks from Schmitz Park trails and the Alaska Junction. Built in 1948 with hardwood floors, generous deck space, and a finished lower-level bonus room, it delivers the West Seattle sweet spot: character, outdoor living, and a location buyers love. The light-filled living room features a large picture window, fireplace and an easy, comfortable floor plan. Downstairs, the bonus room offers flexible space for movie nights, guests, work-from-home, hobbies, or creative projects. Both bedrooms open directly to their own deck — a lovely indoor/outdoor connection. The full bath adds a custom touch with heated travertine floors, copper details, and a custom tile surround. Outside, the private fenced backyard is filled with mature trees, established plantings, garden space, and over 400 sq ft of deck space for summer dinners, morning coffee, or an evening glass of wine. Enjoy a one-car garage/shop, driveway parking for up to 4 cars, a coveted Genesee Hill Elementary address, and blocks to Schmitz Park, Olympic Coffee, Alaska Junction shops, restaurants, groceries, and the Sunday Farmers Market. Classic character, garden magic, flexible space, and one of West Seattle’s most loved locations.
