Classic Phinney Ridge charm meets modern flexibility in this thoughtfully updated 1926 Craftsman. The welcoming front porch leads into a light-filled living room with coved ceilings, anchored by an original hand-cast tile fireplace. Two spacious bedrooms and an updated full bath. Kitchen, with stainless appliances, a six-burner gas range, and dining space, features a Dutch door that opens to a sun-drenched backyard, ideal for summer entertaining and late-night campfires. The versatile basement functions as an excellent office, media room, or guest suite, with laundry and a half bath. And here's where it gets interesting: a potential rental studio or MIL / ADU with its own exterior entrance, full kitchen, three-quarter bath, and washer/dryer. House-hack homeownership, host extended guests, or just turn on rental income whenever you want, like during the World Cup this summer! Fresh paint and carpet, newer windows and flooring, and a brand-new high-efficiency furnace. Rare off-street parking space. A short walk to all that Phinney Ridge and Greenwood have to offer: some of the best shops, bars, and restaurants in Seattle. Easy access to transportation, South Lake Union, and downtown. Charming, turnkey, and full of possibilities. Do not miss this unique PhinneyWood gem!
