About this home

Fantastic starter home opportunity in Arbor Heights. Two bedrooms, one bath and a spacious living room with a picture window and a wood burning fireplace. Enjoy a recently refreshed kitchen with dedicated dining space that fits a full size table. The laundry room doubles as a mud room with good storage. A ductless mini split heat pump means A/C for the hot days. The long driveway and detached outbuilding/shop are great for parking and storage and the 8400 square foot lot is ripe with potential. This little gem is located right across the street from the entrance to Fuantleroy Park, a lush 32 acre network of trails. Just across the park it's a short jaunt to Lincoln Park, the Vashon Ferry, Endolyne Joe's and Wildwood Market.
