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.
