Property Description
Experience the best of West Seattle from your very own Admiral Junction Craftsman. It’s one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods for a reason! Superbly located just off California Ave behind the new PCC, you could live a very rich life within a mere six block radius. Built in 1914, this home offers all-original charm while the important items have been updated. In addition to plumbing, electrical, windows and roof, there’s an updated bathroom with heated floors, a heat pump, solar electricity (owned, not leased), a fresh deck with clean/functional hot tub, a new fence with gated off-street parking and more. Great indoor / outdoor flow and loaded with storage space. Finish the 520sf basement to add living space and equity. Rates are historically attractive and the market is very active, so don’t delay!
