First time on market in almost 60 years! This sunny 1957 mid-century gem sits on a corner lot and brings all the charm—original hardwoods, 3 roomy bedrooms, 2 baths, and a bright, super-functional kitchen. Two cozy recreational spaces, including a wet bar downstairs, a fireplace and wood stove? Yes, please! The private, fenced backyard is BBQ-ready with garden space and a covered patio. Fresh paint, new lighting, vanities, bathroom upgrades, and a brand-new sewer line. Super close to Kubota Gardens and the Chief Sealth walking trail. Just one block to the Link Light Rail and only 5 blocks from Lake WA. Enjoy all the local restaurants, schools, and super quick freeway access!
