Set on a rare oversized lot across the street from Seattle Farm, this home offers a level of space and flexibility that is hard to find within the city. The NR2 zoning may also present future development opportunities for buyers to explore, subject to City of Seattle regulations and permitting. The backyard is a major highlight, with room to relax, entertain, garden, play, or take advantage of the existing sports court. Inside, the home features a practical and flexible layout with mostly new flooring and an updated lower level that expands the home’s everyday versatility. The finished basement includes upgraded bathroom tile, a bar area, and additional shop or storage space, creating useful options for entertaining, hobbies, guests, work, or extended living. Recent exterior improvements include an upgraded deck structure with updated railing, a newer carport roof, and a roof that is just over five years old. Conveniently located near parks, shopping, dining, transit, Lake Washington recreation, and Seattle’s famed Kubota Garden, with the Chief Sealth Trail bordering the property and a light rail station within walking distance, this home offers a compelling combination of privacy, function, and city convenience.
