Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1990 (34 years old), the property exceeds its age-based 'poor' rating due to significant recent updates. It features a modern heat pump system for HVAC, updated flooring throughout, and a refreshed kitchen with new quartz countertops, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The home is well-maintained and move-in ready.
The property offers rare, direct access and views to the historic Kubota Garden via a private path, providing a tranquil, forested atmosphere that serves as an extended backyard.
Equipped with a heat pump system for both heating and air conditioning, along with an updated kitchen and vaulted ceilings, the home offers contemporary comfort and aesthetic appeal.
The $225/month HOA fee provides significant value by covering exterior painting, roof maintenance/replacement, and landscaping, offering the privacy of a detached home with the convenience of a managed community.
The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 1, living area = 1836.
The assigned public schools, particularly the high school and nearest elementary, have low performance ratings, which may be a deterrent for families and impact future resale value.
Despite the proximity to the public garden, the property itself has a minimal private lot footprint, offering little space for personal gardening, play areas, or expansion.
Looking for complete tranquility even though you also want to be a part of a close-knit community? You'll find both in this lovely stand-alone home on Garden Loop Rd S. Once inside you'll find your only concern for privacy interruption comes in the form of the many flitting birds and skampering squirrels who call Kubota Garden, your new backyard, home. Should you wish to hide away at home and enjoy the forested garden views, you can take your pick of lounging spots--from the spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, the primary suite with its own entrance to the back deck, the chic primary bath with its skylight above, the downstairs family room with its additional lower deck access or even the cozy and bright office if you need to log on for a bit. Adding to your comfort is the wood-burning fireplace, the heat pump system for A/C and heat, the updated kitchen and of course the ability to pull right into the 2 car garage when it’s raining. $225/month in HOA dues covers insurance, landscaping, house painting, roof maintenance and replacement when needed. Other perks include a private path to enter Kubota Garden, quick access to I5, light rail and busses, Seward Park, Seatac airport and all those Georgetown, South Park, and Columbia City restaurants you’ve been meaning to check out. Welcome Home!
