Affectionately known as the “Happy House” by neighbors and residents for decades, this special home offers warmth and welcoming touches at every turn. Set back from the sidewalk—where children draw with chalk and neighbors stop to chat—morning light pours in to greet each new day. The comfortable floor plan features an oversized living room with a beautiful fireplace and gleaming hardwood floors. The dining room flows seamlessly into the updated eat-in kitchen and a cozy bonus room —perfect for morning coffee, puzzles & homework. A brand-new deck overlooks the level backyard, ready for gardening, play, barbecues, and outdoor activities. Three main-floor bedrooms provide convenient, easy living. Along the staircase, you’ll find charming historic photos and headlines lovingly displayed by the owner decades ago—treasured details that add to the homes character. The expansive lower level provides an inviting space for a media area, games, or a home gym. A separate entry & plumbing for a wet bar offers excellent potential for a future MIL or multigenerational living. Exceptional storage plus a generous laundry room, complete the lower level. Bonus; attached one-car garage, and long driveway allow for plenty of parking! Ideally located near View Ridge Park, Café Van Gogh, Café Javasti, sought-after schools, the nearby Burke Gilman Trail, and easy access to major arterials.
