Nestled in a prime, close-in location, this charming Laurelhurst/Rose City bungalow perfectly blends modern functionality with preserved original details. Zoned in the highly sought-after Laurelhurst and Grant Schools, and just a short stroll to the Hollywood Farmers Market, Normandale Park, and top-notch shopping + eating. It’s an incredible value to get into this school district for under $500,000! With easy freeway and MAX access and a Biker’s Paradise Score of 90, convenience is at your doorstep. Step inside and be captivated by the unique touches that set this home apart—an arched entrance to the dining room, leaded glass windows, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace that add character and elegance. Natural light fills every corner, especially in the refreshed kitchen, where you’ll enjoy cooking with a backdrop of sunshine and your favorite tunes. Upstairs, you’ll find a peaceful retreat where skylights illuminate the built in desk office and bonus space (note that the attic ceiling is angled but it is also roomy up there). The backyard is an entertainer’s dream, thoughtfully designed for gatherings around the fire pit, al fresco dining, and relaxing in the hot tub. Mature trees provide the perfect balance of sunny spots and shaded retreats, with a magnificent cherry blossom tree that becomes the crown jewel of the yard every April. This home is move-in ready with tons of updates, including a new roof, water heater, fresh interior and exterior paint, HVAC, sewer, electric, and basement waterproofing. [Home Energy Score = 3.
