Fresh Start in Seahurst

Find this picture-perfect residence in a secluded corner in Seahurst, just one block to Normandy Park. Wave to your neighbors out walking their dogs, and rest assured that neighbors here look out for each other. Everything you might need can be found no more than 5 minutes from home—the beach, schools, grocery shopping, dining, medical facilities, freeway access, and oh-so-much-more are all within reach. Pick up fresh ingredients and Trader Joe’s and PCC; grab a bite to eat at the rave-worthy Burien Fish House or at the iconic Elliott Bay Brewhouse; and head to Olde Burien to browse cute boutiques and popular eateries (like Bakery Nouveau!). On sunny days, visit nearby outdoor destinations like the beach and playground at Seahurst Park and The Cover at Normandy Park.

509 is only an 8-minute drive away, and as you head north it turns into Highway 99, taking you straight into Downtown Seattle in just 15 minutes! Another handy commuting option is to drive to Angle Lake Station and enjoy a car-free, traffic-free ride on the Link Light Rail right into the heart of Seattle (and beyond)! Those who frequently fly for work are sure to find this location especially convenient as well—you’re not more than 10 minutes to SeaTac International Airport. Benefit from easy access to the airport, without the noise of the airport!

We opened up the layout to create seamless flow throughout—we know what modern homeowners love and this Seahurst Happy Home is built to become your forever home.

What are the benefits of buying an older home that has been completely rehabbed, versus buying a brand new home? Well, first and foremost: location, location, location! New homes are simply not built on huge lots like this anymore. You get the backyard oasis that owners of new construction in this area are just never going to be able to find. The same is true for the neighborhood itself—a quiet community where all of the homes are on large lots is not going to be an option for new builds. And back in the 1950s when this home was built, houses weren’t built on fill like they are now; there’s no fear that this house will “settle,” because it would have done it already if it were going to! Yet another perk is the fact that homes from this era were constructed incredibly well. Homes were built with integrity, and this one has stood the test of time.
