A garden path framed by roses and Japanese maples leads to this character-rich one-level midcentury home on a quiet cul-de-sac. Available for the first time in more than 26 years, the home offers 1,830 SF of generous living spaces, dining with gas fireplace, hardwoods, knotty pine accent walls, original built-in storage, a brand-new kitchen with new cabinets, Quartz counters, and new stainless Samsung appliances, and a huge primary bedroom, easily fitting a king-size bed, with wood-burning stove. The flexible floor plan offers personality and possibility, with spaces that adapt beautifully to everyday life, hobbies, work, and gathering. Garden lovers will appreciate the sunny, open-sky backyard, raised beds, low-maintenance grounds, and a delicious summer harvest of established raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries. Indoor-outdoor living comes naturally here, with easy flow to the backyard, charming studio and enclosed patio-ideal as a workout room, art studio, hangout space, or plant nursery. Don't miss the whimsical groundcover garden! Lovingly maintained for decades, with substantial updates including fresh interior & exterior paint, remodeled bathrooms and tankless water heater, updated plumbing, and newly installed gas furnace. Attached 320SF garage and ample off-street parking. Close to shopping, 509, schools, and all Burien has to offer, this is a home for buyers seeking something with soul, flexibility, and a little magic. Great commuter location!
