Classic Colonial Revival charm meets effortless West Seattle living. Ideally located between Alaska and Morgan Junction on a highly walkable street just moments to Lowman Beach, parks, local shops, restaurants, and coffee. Inside, with high ceilings throughout, expansive light-filled spaces create a seamless flow—from the updated kitchen with full tile backsplash, high-end stainless appliances, and in-kitchen eating area to the inviting great room with cozy gas fireplace. Formal living and dining rooms connect beautifully, anchored by a second fireplace, creating warmth and ease for everyday living and memorable gatherings alike. A fabulous main-level bedroom and ¾ bath offer exceptional flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or those seeking the ease of age-in-place comfort. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a truly spacious primary suite with a huge walk-in closet and luxurious 5-piece bath. West-facing windows capture stunning protected Puget Sound views and more views—bringing in incredible natural light and unforgettable sunsets. Convenient upstairs laundry adds everyday practicality. Outside, a fully fenced yard offers room to play or relax, also perfect for furry friends. The oversized two-car garage and expansive driveway provide abundant parking and space for shooting hoops, riding bikes, or gathering with neighbors. Timeless architecture, modern updates, and unbeatable location, a truly special home!
