Wonderfully charming and truly turn-key, this thoughtfully updated home blends timeless character with modern convenience. Light-filled interiors feature original hardwood floors, newer windows, French doors to the covered back deck, and LED lighting throughout. The refreshed kitchen offers quartzite countertops, updated cabinetry, and newer appliances. The fully finished, full height lower level includes a legal third bedroom with egress, flexible living space, and abundant storage, including potential wine room space. Outside, enjoy a private, fully fenced backyard with raised garden beds, a 6' x 8' shed, and room to create your dream outdoor retreat. The oversized one-car garage, currently used as a fitness studio, offers versatile space for parking, hobbies, or storage. Ideally located with easy transit access for a quick downtown commute, this home is just moments from Westcrest Park and its popular off-leash dog area and trails, Westwood Village shopping, neighborhood bakeries, cafés, and local eateries. Easy access to major highways, freeways, and SeaTac airport. A rare combination of updates, convenience, and lifestyle—this is one you won't want to miss! Great potential for an excellent investment opportunity!
