Beautifully updated Craftsman blending timeless character, modern comfort, and a gorgeous backyard that truly extends the living space outdoors. At the heart of the home is the stunning chef's kitchen with direct access to the formal dining room and elegant living room with fireplace, creating warm and inviting spaces that flow naturally together for everyday living and entertaining. Thoughtfully designed for passionate home cooks, the kitchen offers the workspace, storage, and functionality rarely found in a classic Craftsman, framed by tall windows that keep the beauty of the backyard in view year-round. Step outside into what truly sets this home apart: a remarkably peaceful, fully fenced backyard that feels like a private retreat, with fruit trees and generous space to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy the outdoors. The main floor offers two of the three spacious bedrooms and a large bathroom. The lower level adds flexibility with a third bedroom, bathroom, den-office space, and abundant storage. The huge attic, accessible by stairs, offers exciting future expansion potential. Fresh interior and exterior paint, newly refinished oak hardwood floors, an extra-large two-car garage, and additional driveway parking add comfort and convenience. All of this is complemented by easy access to transit, Downtown Seattle, Interbay, Golden Gardens and the Ballard Locks, shopping, dining, and the vibrant Ballard lifestyle. The good life starts here!
