This move-in ready mid-century rambler is proof that you really can have it all! It's located in the heart of Alderwood, right next to all of the amenities the neighborhood has to offer and less than a mile from light rail (WalkScore: 74), but on a quiet street with a spacious and private backyard + large deck that feels like your own sanctuary within the city. Enjoy the charm of mid-century details and freshly refinished, gleaming hardwood floors, together with the functionality of a great layout for both daily life and entertaining that has plenty of room for everyone, with three bedrooms plus a large family room and a huge utility room that doubles as a bonus/hobby room. And say goodbye to home projects with a new roof from 2021 and fresh paint inside and out! Need to expand further down the road? You'll have plenty of options thanks to new zoning that allows up to three homes to be built on the lot (buyer to verify). When it's time to leave the house, stroll 1 block to the Mesika Trail and greenbelt behind City Hall and the library, or 1/2 a mile to Fred Meyer and the restaurants on 196th; walk or bike 0.9 miles to the light rail station and transit center; or drive 3 minutes to the I-5 on-ramp, 5 minutes to Highway 99, 7 minutes or less to all of Alderwood's dozens of shops restaurants, parks, and grocery stores (including Costco!), or 20-30 minutes to downtown Seattle. They don't make houses like this anymore--come take a look at this one before it's gone.
