What I Loved About Living Here:

A forest-like feel in the city. The mature trees create a surprising sense of privacy and calm, buffering noise, light, and visibility, so the home feels more like a quiet cottage than a busy urban property. Wildlife is part of daily life here, including squirrels, birds, and even the occasional duck.
Exceptionally convenient airport access. Being just ten minutes from the airport made travel effortless and hosting visitors incredibly easy.
Comfortable, cozy, and efficient. The home feels genuinely welcoming and is easy to heat in winter and naturally cooler in summer thanks to the tree canopy. The living room gets beautiful natural light for much of the year.
Generally quiet and secure. While you will notice planes and some nearby commercial activity, the neighborhood itself feels calm and safe. Neighbors are respectful, and noise was never an issue.
Unbeatable central location. Five minutes south gets you everyday essentials, and fifteen minutes north puts you in the heart of downtown Seattle for concerts, games, and events. Quick access to I-5 and Highway 99 makes commuting easy. West Seattle, Burien, and Renton are all close by with great shopping, views, and dining.
Nature is always nearby. Puget Sound sunsets are just fifteen minutes away. Seahurst Park is about ten minutes, and Seward Park is around twenty. For runners and walkers, the surrounding neighborhoods and routes toward the SeaTac Ballpark offer easy, scenic options right from the front door.
Spacious bedrooms. The two back bedrooms are generously sized and comfortably fit a king bed with plenty of room to spare.
A large, versatile yard. The backyard includes a protected, tree-lined area that feels private and serene and is perfect for a future patio, fire pit, or outdoor retreat.
