Buying a Home Selling a Home

6712 18th Ave SW | Puget Ridge | West Seattle | $600,000

2 BEDS | 1.5 BATHS | 900 SQFT | 5,238 SQFT LOT | MLS# 2582897

Tucked into Puget Ridge, this well-cared-for West Seattle home offers something increasingly valuable in the city: a comfortable amount of space without more house than you need. The 900-square-foot layout has an easy circular flow that makes the home feel larger than expected, with two bedrooms, 1.5 baths and western exposure bringing in afternoon light.

Outside, the fully fenced backyard feels especially spacious thanks to the easement beyond the property, creating welcome breathing room between neighbors. There is plenty of room for dogs, gardening, outdoor dinners or simply a quiet afternoon at home.

Longtime neighbors, off-street parking for two vehicles and easy access to 99 and 509 add to the everyday convenience. South Seattle College is within walking distance, while parks, local businesses and destinations throughout West Seattle are a quick trip away.

Thoughtful updates over the years include a newer roof, attic insulation, flooring, water heater, back fence and gate, along with replacement windows and an updated bathroom.
