Opportunity favors the prepared—and this is the moment. Offered for the first time ever, this one-owner home—built and lovingly maintained by the original builder—makes its debut in the sunny, sought-after Upper Rainier Beach neighborhood. Quality craftsmanship and unmistakable pride of ownership are evident at every turn. The layout is one that quietly persuades you to stay awhile: generous spaces, thoughtful flow, and an abundance of windows that invite natural light to fill the home throughout the day. The main floor welcomes you with a spacious living room crowned by vaulted ceilings, an inviting dining room for gathering, and a bright kitchen with a cheerful nook for morning coffee. The primary suite offers a private 3/4 bath and its own deck—perfect for savoring sweeping views of the Olympic Mountains and the Seattle skyline. Two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the level. Downstairs, the home continues to impress with a large rec room, private office, laundry area, 3/4 bath, an exceptional shop for projects and hobbies, and a one-car garage. A convenient paved alley provides easy access to the garage and additional off-street parking. Step outside and discover a sunny backyard retreat designed for living well. A deck invites relaxed entertaining beside a striking water feature, while raised garden beds await the home gardener. And best of all—no grass to mow. All of this in an ideal neighborhood location. Come see this beauty today!
