Tucked into the heart of Beacon Hill, this beautifully updated Craftsman feels like home the moment you arrive through the arched entryway. Featuring 3 bedrooms plus a bonus room (office/potential 4th bedroom), 1.75 bathrooms, and a finished basement, you won't have to do a thing except move in! Thoughtful updates since 2019–2025 include a remodeled kitchen, new siding and exterior paint, updated interior paint, lower-level carpeting, a new furnace and water heater, and radiant heated floors in the main floor bathroom. French doors open to a spacious deck built for gathering, surrounded by mature landscaping and a fully fenced backyard. A lovely treed and manicured front yard with fresh sod and a peek-a-boo view of Mt. Rainier completes the picture. You'll enjoy morning coffee on the deck, evenings with friends flowing easily from inside to out, and weekends spent going to local restaurants, coffee shops, and cafés like Flora Bakehouse (just a block away!) , farmers markets, and parks. Easy access to I-5, I-90, and downtown Seattle. Don't miss the opportunity to put down roots where city living meets the comfort of home in a truly central location.
