Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1992 (32 years ago), placing it within the 25-40 year age bracket defined for the 'fair' category. While the home is well-maintained and features move-in ready cosmetic updates such as new carpet, fresh paint, and custom shutters, it has not undergone a comprehensive renovation. Elements like the track lighting and floral wallpaper indicate the home is aged and retains much of its original character from the early 90s.
The property offers a rare 'private forest' atmosphere adjacent to Genesee Park while remaining just a 10-minute walk from Columbia City’s vibrant dining, retail, and Light Rail access.
Featuring soaring vaulted ceilings and an expanded deck overlooking the tree canopy, the NW Contemporary design creates an airy, spacious feel that lives larger than its actual footprint.
Recent interior enhancements, including new carpeting, fresh paint, and custom wood shutters, ensure the home is in polished, turnkey condition for the next owner.
The property is served by schools with mixed performance ratings, particularly at the high school level, which may be a drawback for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
The three-level floor plan separates the primary suite from the lower-level bedrooms, which may not suit buyers looking for single-level living or a more centralized bedroom cluster.
Your own private forest, just a 10-minute walk from brunch. This stunning NW Contemporary is tucked into the woods along Genesee Park, offering the rare combination of seclusion and true walkability. Stroll to Geraldine's Counter for weekend eggs benny, grab a croissant at Columbia City Bakery, or settle in at Lottie's Lounge for a nightcap. Light Rail is close by too, putting the rest of Seattle within easy reach. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings connect the main floor to the second level, filling the space with light and making the home live larger than its footprint. New carpet, fresh paint, and custom wood window shutters give it a polished, move-in-ready feel. The expanded deck captures the tree canopy and park views, creating an easy connection to the outdoors. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat, with a five-piece bath, walk-in closet, and sunlit loft that works beautifully as a home office. The lower level offers two flexible bedrooms, a full bath, a two-car garage, and generous storage. Secluded in the woods, yet walkable to Columbia City, Light Rail, and Seward Park.
No exterior & parking available.
