Live the Ballard lifestyle while building equity. Perched just above street level, this smartly designed home places you just steps from the city while offering added privacy. The cozy living room invites you in with warmth and charm, while the kitchen offers room to personalize- add a dining table, bar cart, or island to suit your style. The front bedroom sits just steps from the top-floor primary suite and works perfectly as an office or nursery. Upstairs, the primary retreat features tall ceilings and its own en suite bath, creating a light-filled escape. The home also offers a smart house-hack opportunity with a private lower-level suite, complete with its own en suite bath-ideal for supplemental income, guests, or flexible living. Step outside and feel the momentum of a neighborhood on the rise, with brand-new luxury townhomes next door signaling strong growth and investment potential. All this, less than a mile from the heart of Ballard- home to some of Seattle's best restaurants, bars, fitness studios, and everyday conveniences. Even closer, just two blocks away, enjoy a walkable strip of local coffee shops, dining, and nightlife. Urban energy meets everyday ease, with quick street parking plus your own dedicated off-street parking space-with room for an outdoor storage container. Truly the best of both worlds.
