Property Description

Tucked on a quiet residential street in desirable Lakewood, this turnkey 4-bedroom, 1.75-bath mid-century blends timeless design, modern updates, and exceptional flexibility just moments from Columbia City, Genesee Park, and Lake Washington. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original character, the home features a newer roof, central A/C, furnace, water heater, updated lighting, upgraded appliances including gas cooking, and abundant storage. Light-filled living spaces feature vaulted ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, large picture windows, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The flexible lower level can function seamlessly with the main home or as a fully independent living space with separate entrance, 2 bedrooms, full kitchen, living area, bath, and access to newer washer/dryer—ideal for Airbnb income, multi-generational living, guest quarters, or mortgage offset potential. Two full kitchens offer rare versatility for modern living. Set on a large south-facing corner lot, the home offers mature landscaping, inviting entertaining spaces, a new concrete pathway, off-street parking, and a one-car garage. Enjoy easy access to Columbia City’s restaurants, cafés, PCC Market, farmers market, and light rail, along with nearby Genesee Park, the off-leash dog park, ball fields, Lake Washington, and convenient commutes via I-90 and I-5. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home with true flexibility in one of South Seattle’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
