Views, charm, livability, convenience, all in one attractive home. Multiple west-facing decks deliver a commanding perspective over Ballard with the Olympic Mountains as a backdrop, the perfect setting for watching the seasons change. Inside, 1926 character meets thoughtful updates. The front room features a perfect-blue color wash, period wood-burning fireplace and built-ins, and open dining room with plentiful windows and stylish lighting. The remodeled kitchen is efficient and bespoke, with quartz counters, white shaker cabinetry, subway tile, stainless appliances, a Fisher & Paykel range, and a sunny breakfast nook with heated terracotta floor. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level. Upstairs, find a generous primary bedroom with ensuite bath and a guest bedroom with built-in shelving and westerly view; this could double as an office space. The finished lower level adds valuable bonus space for a rec room, media room, home office, or play area. Outside, a fully fenced yard with patio, pergola, and terraced garden invites easy outdoor living. Just steps to West Woodland Elementary and a few blocks to the shops, restaurants, and pubs of Ballard and Phinney Ridge, this is a laid-back Seattle neighborhood where life happens outdoors and neighbors know each other.
