Nestled in a small townhome community just above California Ave, this 2006 free-standing cottage lives so well — no shared walls, no HOA dues, just the quiet independence of your own front door. Welcome to a wonderful open floorplan on the main level: an inviting living room anchored by a gas fireplace, a dedicated eating area, and a kitchen with breakfast bar, all flowing effortlessly out to your own private, fenced patio — the kind of layout that makes everyday living and easy entertaining feel natural. Upstairs, two lovely bedrooms soak in westerly views of the Sound and Mountains, protected by a view easement on title! Primary bedroom has enhanced closet to optimize storage. A beautifully updated bath, 2nd bedroom and convenient laundry round out the upper level. Hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by refreshed interior paint. One-car, off-street parking adds everyday ease. Outside, the low-maintenance patio is perfectly suited for container gardening, casual gatherings, and watching the sun melt into the water. The location can't be beat: just blocks to the Junction's coffee shops, eateries, boutiques, and transit, and the beauty of Lincoln Park's beaches and trails only minutes away. A rare combination of privacy, views, and walkability — West Seattle living at its finest!
