Property Description

Nestled in the heart of West Seattle, this charming Cape Cod home offers warmth, character, & opportunity in one of the area’s most beloved neighborhoods. Set on a generous lot, it invites imagination for a thoughtful remodel, seamless expansion, custom new construction, or exploring development potential. With alley access and ample space, the property is an excellent candidate for a DADU + ADU, opening the door to multi-genl living, guest quarters, add rental income or subdivide. Well maintained over the years, the home is ready for its next chapter & offers tremendous potential to update, personalize, or reimagine. Inside, a beautiful original fireplace and hardwood floors are ready to shine once again, bringing timeless charm & a welcoming feel. A new electrical panel provides a valuable head start for future improvements. The partially finished daylight basement adds even more opportunity, with enough space to create two additional bedrooms, a spacious great room, and laundry area—ideal for expanded living or flexible use. Tree-lined streets and established homes create a true neighborhood atmosphere, while nearby parks offer wonderful places enjoy & unwind. Just minutes from both the Admiral & Alaska Junctions, you’ll enjoy easy access to beloved cafés, restaurants, local boutiques, grocery stores, schools and lively community events. This is more than an investment—it’s an opportunity to create something special in a consistently sought-after pocket of West Seattle.
