What's special
Some homes have a story to tell, and this one holds over 40 years of memories with the same owners. Nestled among mature trees in Shoreline's Richmond Highlands, this west-facing home has great vibes from the moment you step inside! Natural light, generous living spaces, picture windows, hardwood floors, and a cozy brick fireplace create a warm welcome. Discover a sunroom for hobbies or relaxing, plus a separate workshop. The spacious basement is ideal for movie nights or projects, with a unique bonus area for storage or a future wine cellar. Outside, enjoy a south-facing covered composite deck for year-round gatherings, established gardens with surprise seasonal blooms, and a large backyard full of possibilities. Ample parking includes a two-car covered carport. Beautiful evening sunsets add to the charm. Lovingly maintained, with a roof replaced in 2018, sewer line replacement and additional lining, a 2022 whole-home plumbing repipe, updated main-floor bathroom, fresh paint, new carpeting, and newer appliances. The oversized downstairs washer, dryer, and utility sink stay. Cheerful retro kitchen adds personality. Enjoy it now or create your dream kitchen when you're ready. More to explore! NR2 zoning offers potential for additional housing; buyer to verify. Minutes to Richmond Beach, parks, Shoreline Community Center, shopping, dining, Aurora Village Transit Center, and Shoreline North/185th Link light rail. Incredible space, location, and value. Come experience it.
