Storybook charm abounds in this darling West Seattle bungalow, complete with a detached 375 sq ft studio that adds valuable bonus space. Tucked beneath a grand maple tree & surrounded by mature landscaping, the property feels like an oasis, from the vine-covered arbor to the cozy firepit patio. Inside, hardwood floors, a bright living room framed by corner windows, and a spacious skylit kitchen come together in a layout that feels both welcoming and functional. The tall basement offers a large laundry room, abundant storage & future expansion potential! The beautifully refreshed detached studio is ready for whatever you imagine - office, art studio, guest retreat, workout room, or game space. It adds a little extra magic to this special property! Extensive upgrades include HardiPlank siding, exterior paint, 200-amp electrical service, furnace, water heater, insulation, gutters with leaf guards, and a waterproofing system with lifetime warranty. The owner's meticulous care shines throughout. All this in one of West Seattle’s most beloved locations, moments from Alaska Junction, restaurants, cafés, parks, transit, & the year-round farmers market. Cute as can be and thoughtfully updated, this is the kind of home people fall in love with!
