Charming Matthews Beach residence with an unexpected distinction: a detached garage conversion, thoughtfully finished as a light-filled flex studio with recessed lighting, laminate flooring, exposed dark beams, and abundant windows. Equally suited to fitness, work from home, creative pursuits, or refined entertaining, it elevates this property well beyond the ordinary. The main residence, updated in 2018, makes a graceful first impression, timber-accented covered porch, valuted ceilings, bamboo hardwood floors and mature landscaping. Within, 820 square feet unfold beneath ample natural light, where an open living and dining area create an inviting rhythm. The warm wood-cabinet kitchen, outfitted with stainless steel appliances, balances function with character, while two bedrooms, a 3/4 bath, and a comfortable living space create the perfect cozy environment. A second garage structure with taller than normal height off the driveway adds further versatility for storage, larger vehicles, or a workshop. Situated on a private ravine, a generous paved patio, fire pit, and intimate seating areas, framed by mature trees, create a private retreat for gatherings or quiet evenings. Moments from Matthews Beach, neighborhood parks, and the Burke-Gilman Trail, and served by Seattle schools, this is a rare union of character, thoughtful updates, and exceptional bonus space. Every detail invites you to settle in and stay. Schedule your private showing today and experience it firsthand.
