STYLISH, UPDATED & A SHORT STROLL TO ALASKA JUNCTION Perfectly located in one of West Seattle’s most walkable neighborhoods, this bright and inviting Genesee home blends timeless charm with thoughtful, modern updates. From the moment you arrive, curb appeal shines with a welcoming front yard and covered porch entry. Inside, an open-concept layout flows from the light-filled living room—featuring custom built-ins—into a spacious kitchen with a center island and contemporary finishes. Around the corner a powder room brings added convenience. The dining area, complete with a wet bar, opens to a backyard patio, creating an ideal indoor-outdoor living experience. The main-floor primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, featuring dual walk-in closets and a beautifully updated ensuite bath. Downstairs, the lower level adds flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a generous bonus space—perfect for a media room, home office, or relaxed living area. Looking for future upside? RSL zoning and alley access present potential for a DADU above or in place of the existing garage. Designed for easy living, this home includes a durable 50-year metal roof, ample off-street parking, a one-car garage, and a sunny fully enclosed backyard for your pet. Just moments from Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, local cafés, restaurants, and boutique shops—you'll experience a convenient commute to downtown Seattle and a rare blend of neighborhood charm and urban convenience. Welcome home!
