Set in an unbeatable location right across from Columbia Park and Library, this irresistible 1933 cottage is refreshed and ready to go! Move right in to an open layout that shines with upgraded flooring, designer lighting, newer windows, and a modern paint palette. You can whip up meals with ease in the stylish kitchen featuring sleek espresso-toned cabinets, slab stone surfaces, an artisan tile back splash, and extra-large farmhouse sink. Gather or relax in the integrated living and dining areas with tall windows and crisp white Craftsman-style millwork. Two bedrooms look out on the surrounding greenery, with a newer full bathroom. It’s the perfect condo alternative! Plan your victory garden or outdoor living area in the fenced backyard with raised planting bed, or step out to the pedestrian-only walkway and enjoy the expansive park lawn and walking trails that await right outside your front door. Rated a Walker’s Paradise, you’re just a stroll away from Columbia City’s shopping, dining, restaurants, PCC and coffee shops. Just blocks to six bus lines and minutes from the light rail station, too! L2 zoning means you can live in it OR rent it out while you get permits for 2 townhouses (buyer to verify). An incredible opportunity for peaceful living and potential expansion within easy reach of everything Seattle has to offer.
