Stand alone 1920's backyard cottage one block from the heart of West Seattle. Completely redone upper level: new kitchen, new bathroom, new floors. Laundry in unit. The unit is technically "Unit D" on this property and is accessed via SW Edmunds St. It includes one highly coveted off-street parking space. Fantastic location: walk one block to the farmer's market, restaurants, groceries, coffee, croissants, vinyl, C-Line hub, etc. Walk score: 95. This cottage is special yet funky. The spiral staircase to the lower level is steep and ladder-like making it not for everybody. We debated whether to claim two bedrooms--the second bedroom is very small. The lower level also has laundry, a half bath, decent closets, and space for an office nook. The cottage is one unit among five in a dense, multi-generational community that requires tenants who are quiet, respectful, and conscientious of their neighbors. Other residents include a senior, a high school student, and working professionals. There is also a short term rental on the property. It is an example of density living, though the off street parking and the standalone DADU insulate it from many aspects of "apartment style" living. Pets considered with deposit and monthly fee.
