Bright, modern 3-bed, 2-bath townhome in the heart of West Seattle. Nearly 1,400 sq ft, steps from dining, coffee, shopping, and transit. The standout: two private rooftop decks with sweeping Puget Sound views.
The open main floor is filled with light, with a kitchen featuring quartz counters, stainless steel appliances, ample cabinet space, and breakfast-bar seating, plus a small fenced backyard for a grill and a pet. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a private bath with double sinks and a large walk-in shower.
Includes a full-size LG washer and dryer, warm wide-plank flooring, a dual mini-split heat pump for heating and air conditioning (rare in Seattle), tankless hot water, and on-street parking. Welcome home!
