Come see what makes this sweet 1930s Admiral home so easy to love. Original hardwood floors, a classic fireplace, arched doorways and great natural light give this 2-bedroom, 2 bath home the character you want. Plus, thoughtful updates make it comfortable for today. The bright living room is spacious and inviting and the efficient kitchen offers stainless appliances, gas cooking and options for storage and seating. Two nicely sized bedrooms both with charming vintage-inspired baths keep the original personality intact. The upper bedroom acts as the primary and comes with an incredible built in bed frame to cozy up in. The unfinished basement has room to grow with higher ceilings and potential another room or two. The alley in the back leads to a sizeable garage, more parking, and level entry to the home through the private backyard. And then there’s the location. Tucked into one of West Seattle’s most loved neighborhoods with Admiral shops, coffee, restaurants and everyday essentials close by. This manageable home with a new roof, furnace and sewer provides character in a location that’s hard to beat.
From the newly reopened Hiawatha Community Center to longtime schools, parks and local businesses, community is at the heart of Seattle’s Admiral neighborhood.

What I Love about Living Here
What I loved about living at 2628 46th Ave SE for over 20 years in West Seattle.
The solid mix of easily accessible urban amenities with a small town neighborhood feel, a strong sense of community, close to great parks, the mix of water and city views in the neighborhood. Alki beach especially on the quiet non summer peak days when it’s mostly locals and nearly feels deserted.
Walking through the lush foliage in the neighborhood streets on my daily dog walks with such a variety of plants and established landscaping in people’s yards.
Easy access to everything I need within 2 miles including my medical doctor, dentist, physical therapy, yoga, massage, etc.
Sunday farmers markets at the junction.
A short 4-5 block walk to great restaurants, three grocery stores, including the amazing Metropolitan Market, cute coffee shops, the historic admiral movie theatre, gyms and parks.
East access to downtown. The quick 10 minute water taxi ride for jaunts into the city offering amazing views and fresh salt water air.
Walking the trails in the nearby Schmitz Reserve Park feels like a remote escape into nature with the canopy of old growth forest trees and a creek running through it.
What I will miss about the house itself. The natural light throughout and the quiet tree filled street. With the house sitting above the street and facing west I would watch the sky change as the clouds drifted by, and I caught hundreds of phenomenal color filled sunset skies over the years.
I’ll miss spending time up in build in the cozy built in bed and the views from the bedroom.
So many great places to walk, bike, eat, explore and live without having to go far or even get in my car.
