Situated on a 8,000 sqft lot, this home currently offers quite possibly the largest garden in Ruston, but could be a great location for a future DADU. Awesome outdoor space, fully fenced, huge shed, patio and more. This 1452 sqft layout lives comfortably, with great energy and a flow that feels both practical and cozy. Thoughtful improvements provide confidence and comfort, like the new Mitsubishi mini-splits, brand new electrical panel, new exterior doors and reinforced foundation. The finished attic offers a private retreat for a primary bedroom, guest space, library, and more where natural light streams through skylights and creates an airy, peaceful escape—views of Commencement Bay too! The flexible rec room in the back—with new LVP flooring—offers space for movie nights, hobbies, or a work-from-home setup. A carport off the alley adds convenience, while proximity to Ruston’s waterfront, parks, and walking paths enhances daily life. This home offers not just updates and views—but a lifestyle rooted in outdoor living and community. Come experience the warmth and possibilities of this special property.
