welcome home
There's an ease to this corner of the Central District. This detached Seattle townhouse for sale lives like a stand-alone home: no shared walls, a private yard, a garage, and the brand-new Judkins Park light rail a short walk away. Inside, light-filled living and dining open to a kitchen built for real cooking, with granite counters, maple cabinets, and stainless appliances. Three bedrooms give everyone room to spread out, and recent updates, including a new roof and fresh carpet throughout, mean less to worry about and more time to simply settle in.

Commute
The brand-new Judkins Park light rail station is about a 17-minute walk away, putting a one-seat ride to Bellevue and Redmond at your feet. Downtown Seattle is a nine-minute drive, the Eastside roughly eighteen, and I-90 is right there when you need it.
Outdoors
Green space is everywhere here. Frink Park's wooded ravine trails are a twelve-minute walk, and Leschi Park and the Lake Washington shoreline sit just beyond. Weekends often start with a stroll down to the water and end on the deck off the living room.
Neighborhood
This is one of our favorite stretches of the city, and the food scene shows why. Ezell's Famous Chicken is a quick walk up 23rd, and Communion Restaurant and Bar at 23rd and Union has put the Central District on national best-of lists. Coffee, corner markets, and local favorites are all close by.
Updates
Some of the big-ticket work is already done. A new roof went on this spring, and fresh carpet runs throughout, so you can move in and breathe easy instead of lining up contractors. It's the kind of head start that's hard to put a price on.

What people are saying
SEE ALL
The Neighborhood
The Central District is one of Seattle's oldest and most characterful neighborhoods, and life here moves at a friendly, walkable pace. Saturday might start with coffee close to home, then a walk up 23rd Avenue, the spine of the neighborhood's food scene. Ezell's Famous Chicken has been a local institution for decades, and Communion Restaurant and Bar at 23rd and Union has landed on national best-of lists for its Seattle soul cooking. Add in corner markets, leafy parks, and a real sense of community, and you get the kind of place we never get tired of showing off.
Getting Around
This is the rare Seattle home where you can leave the car at home. The brand-new Judkins Park light rail station, opened in spring 2026, is about a seventeen-minute walk and puts you on the 2 Line for a quick, one-seat ride across Lake Washington to Bellevue and Redmond. When you do drive, downtown Seattle is roughly nine minutes, Bellevue about eighteen, and Sea-Tac under half an hour, with I-90 and Rainier Avenue just minutes away. Frequent bus routes run nearby, so getting to work, the airport, or a game rarely means hunting for parking.
Home Features
Built in 2005, this detached Craftsman style Seattle townhouse has the room and privacy of a single-family home. A slate entry leads to light-filled living, dining, and a kitchen built for real cooking: granite counters, maple cabinets, a garden window over the sink, and stainless appliances. Upstairs, two bedrooms rise to vaulted ceilings and are served by a full bath, with a third bedroom completing the layout and gas radiant heat keeping things warm through winter. A new roof and fresh carpet throughout mean the major updates are handled, so you can settle in and enjoy the place from day one.
Outdoor Space
Step outside and the city opens up. Your own yard and a deck off the living room give you a private spot for morning coffee or a summer dinner, and a detached garage handles parking and gear. Beyond the gate, this stretch of Seattle is all about the outdoors: Frink Park's forested trails are a twelve-minute walk, Leschi Park and the Lake Washington shoreline are close behind, and the Lake Washington Boulevard path links miles of waterfront for running, biking, and lazy weekend walks. It's green, quiet, and surprisingly close to everything.
