8521 Interlake Avenue N, Unit BSeattle, WA 98103Price: $689,000

Welcome to the golden era of townhomes, when floor plans made room for real life! Tucked off the street just blocks from Green Lake, this well-maintained, updated rear corner unit delivers where it counts: gorgeous hardwoods, space for a comfy couch and proper dining table, and a large kitchen with bar seating and a clear view through it all. A gas fireplace anchors the living room, a balcony invites a coffee break, and yes, there's a main-floor powder room! Upstairs, the primary suite features vaulted ceilings, two closets, and an attached bath with dual sinks. A sizeable second bedroom and an actual laundry room with full-size, side-by-side machines round out the top floor. The ground-floor 3rd bedroom and 3/4 bath make the perfect guest retreat, or use the bedroom as a home office with sliding-door access to the low-maintenance stone patio. Fully fenced and ready for friends and furbabies, this outdoor space gives you even more room to spread out. An attached garage adds parking and storage. Numerous thoughtful updates include kitchen and bath countertops, sinks, faucets and cabinet hardware, a tile backsplash, refreshed fireplace surround and steel stair handrails. Fresh paint and new carpet add the finishing touches. With Green Lake so close, your toughest decision will be whether to walk, ride, or paddle before grabbing coffee or dinner nearby. Easy access to I-5, 99 & transit keeps the rest of Seattle within reach, but you'll find few reasons to leave your new hood!
