First time on market in 40 years! Watch amazing sunsets over the West’s horizon or the Classic English Cottage Garden’s sun rises. Better maintained than most, this charming bungalow sits in the sweet spot between Downtown, SeaTac and Puget Sound. Alki Beach beckons for summer activities, lively dining options and fitness opportunities too! A great escape to Vashon Island? Ferry Terminal isn’t far. Easy to maintain, this sweet abode has all the ground you'd need. Imagine almost 11,000 square feet of Puget Sound soil to cultivate or develop! Non-arterial street welcomes neighborly interactions like walks, bikes, pups and littles. Don't miss West Seattle's Famous Junction! Hop, skip, jump or drive to energetic California Ave for food, shopping, music, pubs and theaters and Sunday's Farmers Markets bring it all together. Downtown bound? No problem! Mere minutes! 20 minutes to SeaTac!! So close to the city but surrounded by nature - birds, flowers and friends gather regularly. A 50 year old rose bush provides beautiful fragrances while being the envy of Master Gardeners and enthusiasts alike. Temperature sensitive? No worries here…. Bundle up in front of a cozy fire when Father Winter visits or avoid the summer heat with chilling air conditioning! Either way, you’re good to go. Or stay.
