Welcome to your turn-key home situated on a quiet, tree-lined street where thoughtful improvements and everyday comfort come together. Step inside, kick off your shoes, and hang up your coat in the fully enclosed mud room before settling into a space designed for easy living. The newly remodeled kitchen blends style and functionality, creating a welcoming place for cooking, gathering, and everyday routines. Beautifully refreshed bathrooms add a modern touch, while key system improvements—including upgraded electrical, double-pane vinyl windows, and a new heat pump with A/C—deliver efficiency and year-round comfort. Natural light fills the home, highlighting spaces designed for both relaxing and entertaining. Outside, the fully fenced backyard offers room to garden, play, host gatherings, or simply enjoy the outdoors, while the in-ground sprinkler system helps keep maintenance simple. Conveniently located near neighborhood amenities and outdoor recreation, enjoy the Leo Street P-Patch community garden just down the street and spend weekends exploring Kubota Gardens only minutes away. Rainier View Elementary is located approximately three blocks away, with convenient access to parks, shopping, dining, and commuter routes nearby. If you’ve been searching for a remodeled home with air conditioning, energy-efficient windows, modern improvements, fenced outdoor space, and move-in ready condition, this home combines comfort, convenience, and functionality in one inviting package.
