Unbeatable Ballard location - this bright, modern stand-alone home sits just steps from Tall Grass Bakery (known for weekend lines out the door), minutes to the Amazon shuttle, and moments from the Ballard Locks. Just a 5-minute drive to Golden Gardens Beach and Discovery Park, and a 10-minute walk to the heart of Ballard's shops, cafes, and restaurants. Commuters will love it: catch a direct downtown-bound bus one block over, or hop on the Market St line to UW. Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows flood every room with natural light in this open, airy home. The entry features custom sound-absorbing wall panels with a built-in shoe storage cabinet, plus a smart doorbell, floodlight security camera, and smart lock integrated with an existing sensor-based home security system, along with smart switches for app-controlled lighting. Two bedrooms are upstairs. The downstairs bedroom offers a private retreat with an en-suite 3/4 bath. All three bedrooms have been upgraded with new custom closets and wardrobe systems for extra storage.The fully fenced backyard includes a dedicated dog run, low-maintenance artificial turf with an integrated drainage system, and automated drip irrigation, as well as large planters of flowering azaleas. The attached garage has a high-capacity EV charging station installed. Move-in ready, brilliantly lit, and packed with thoughtful upgrades - a must-see! PRE INSPECTED
