About this home
Solid midcentury home with a timeless layout & traditional floor plan. Lots of opportunities here! Affordable and spacious living for a first time homeowner. Investment potential for either a rental or light cosmetic flip. Fantastic location just .3miles to Rainier Beach Light Rail Station. Enter to sunny and large living room with big windows and fireplace. Fresh paint throughout, new carpet and kitchen floor. Well appointed 3 bedrooms on main level. Large fenced yard with a covered patio leading from the dining room, perfect for alfresco. Downstairs, 4th bedroom and 3/4 bath, and another living room with second fireplace and nice big utility room. Large driveway, attached garage, plenty of street parking. This home is a classic!
