This just might be one of those opportunities where your timing is perfect. Come visit this very well-maintained home in West Seattle's coveted Arbor Heights neighborhood, where you'll experience a lovely blend of vibrant urban convenience and laid-back country farmhouse living. Inside you'll experience a classic century-home floor plan, including a beautifully-remodeled primary bath with large walk-in shower. Down the hall, a freshly-remodeled guest bath offers a tub when soaking is the right choice. Large picture windows throughout the living and dining rooms highlight an authentic wood parquet floor leading to a very attractive kitchen with generous counter space and an adorable coffee, happy-hour or reading nook. Two steps out the back door, a sprawling backyard serves as your personal sanctuary. Pick fresh raspberries from the garden, dine almost year-round on your covered patio, find refuge on the grass, or gather with friends around the fire-pit. All protected by healthy mature trees and a tall cedar fence surrounding the entire property for complete privacy. You won't have to clutter that gorgeous backyard oasis: there's generous space in your large two-car detached garage, additional space on the parking pad, and a newly-renovated garden shed for the mower and rake. All this just minutes from the waterfront, gorgeous parks, Alki Beach, pubs and restaurants, and vibrant retail. Come see for yourself and decide if the timing is indeed perfect to live your life here.
