Inspired remodel of a distinctive 1925 Craftsman Home.

Airy mix of modern and classic Northwest style in a fully renovated, one-of-a-kind West Seattle gem.

$439,000

Life is good here. The customized kicthen accomodates busy chefs and spirited guests. It has stone counters, cherry cabinets, gas stove, and a rollaway island. The breakfast nook fills with morning sunlight. The vaulted ceiling and fir beams create an airy spaciousness that spills out to the dining room and beyond.

A 600 square foot deck faces west off of the bright, window encircled living room. As Spring buds mature, Cherry blossoms, Madrona, Cedar, Alder and Maple leaves surround the deck, creating a wooded backdrop of rare, urban privacy.

Two bedrooms, one with a built-in bunkbed, and a period reminiscent bathroom are on the main floor. The lower level Master bedroom features a built in window seat, walk-in closet, stylish bathroom and a sitting area that opens to a private brick patio. The rich colors and curved cove lighting make the room seductive and comfortable.

The additional media/family room opens to a private side yard through french doors. Throughout the home are large windows, five panel fir doors, hardwood floors and period millwork.

Nestled on the west-facing slope of West Seattle's Cottage Grove neighborhood, the yard's terracing and great exposure to sunshine represents a unique canvas for gardners. However, the vibrant growth of existing trees and plants ensures a low-maintenance, green private abode for non-gardners.

Cottage Grove is a diverse neighborhood with friendly people, ample green space and amazing proximity to downtown. Just a few blocks from the bridge, this home is a launchpad to the rest of the city, though West Seattle's beaches, parks and cultural assets are a great reason to stay on the peninsula. Last month, Youngstown Arts & Cultural Center's grand opening hinted at the vibrant life unfolding one block away. Plus, they've got Flexcar!

This home is fully remodeled and awaiting buyers that want city access, gathering space and privacy at home. (It's also my home, more here:) Please call me to discuss this listing or any other real estate questions.
