The home features a southern exposure with oversized windows and soaring vaulted ceilings, creating a bright, airy atmosphere that maximizes the feel of the living space.
A flexible main-floor bedroom with an adjacent 3/4 bath provides multi-functional utility as a home office, guest suite, or formal dining area to suit various lifestyle needs.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =2426, other record lot size in square feet = 3840.
With only 1,136 square feet across three bedrooms, the interior living areas and individual room scales are relatively compact, which may challenge larger households.
The requirement for the buyer to assume sewer capacity charges introduces an additional financial consideration and potential closing complexity beyond the list price.
Tucked away on a quiet street in the prime Whittier/Ballard neighborhood, this light-filled cottage isn’t just a home — it’s where chapters begin. Southern light spills across the floors as sun streams through the generously sized windows, warming a space that feels instantly welcoming and bright. Cozy, yet surprisingly spacious-this home lives beautifully beyond its footprint. The flexible third bedroom on the main level (with the 3/4 bath) becomes whatever your story needs--Home office, TV room, guest space or even a formal dining room. The ceilings soar in the 2 upstairs bedrooms that also face south and overlook the spacious backyard. The yard is completely fenced and flows seamlessly from the entry, and from the main living space, creating that indoor-outdoor connection everyone dreams about. Close to neighborhood cafés & parks, yet peacefully removed from it all. This one is special and unique! (Sewer capacity to be assumed by the Buyer.)
