This beautifully maintained 1-bedroom corner-unit condo offers the perfect blend of convenience and tranquility. It features granite countertops, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, ample storage and an exterior vented range hood complete the chef’s kitchen. Recent updates include a new dishwasher and hot water heater. Large windows fill the spacious, open layout with natural light, while multiple closets and high ceilings make the unit live larger than its footprint. Set back from the street in a secure, gated community, this quiet retreat boasts peaceful courtyard views and only one shared wall. Amenities include an assigned parking space and storage shed in a secure, covered garage, separate bike storage, and a peaceful gated courtyard for convenient package drop off & outdoor enjoyment. Just blocks from the Alaska and Morgan Junctions, this community provides easy access to shops, dining, and activities while maintaining a serene residential atmosphere. The strong, professionally managed HOA and the absence of a rental cap truly highlight this incredible opportunity to settle into the heart of West Seattle.
