This classic 1959 Renton Highlands tri-level is a rare find. The large picture window looks over the quiet cul-de-sac, and the eastern sun exposure makes for a bright neighborhood feel. The original hardwood floors and the floor-to-ceiling brick and wood-paneled room divider evoke mid-century modern vibes, and the fireplace woodstove insert works to warm the connected open living area. With a sought-after and hard-to-find layout you can enjoy distinct living spaces up and down. There are three bedrooms upstairs including a primary with a private east-facing deck. The lower level, with its own separate entrance, has potential for a rec room, music space or home office plus a flexible fourth bedroom. The private backyard includes established shrubs, a large, covered patio, open masonry fireplace, rustic stone wall, and plenty of room for a play area or garden sanctuary, or both. NEW in 2026: roof, gutters, fresh exterior paint, garage door. Walk to Highlands Elementary, Renton Tech, Highlands Neighborhood Center, King County Library, groceries, and a variety of restaurants. In this home your imagination is the limit, whether bringing back mid-century stylings or creating a contemporary flair, the choices are yours. I-405 minutes away with commute options in all directions, and airport easily accessed within 30 minutes.
