You Can Count on Me

Situated in the conveniently central Fairmount area of West Seattle, this home is literally surrounded by amazing parks, fantastic dining, grocery stores, fun shopping, and more. For starters, Fairmont Park is just a hop, skip, and a jump away. The 68-acre Camp Long Park is just a few blocks from home, too. Need to pick up fresh ingredients or grab a quick meal from a deli? Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and QFC are all less than a mile away. One of West Seattle’s major attractions (and you could easily argue is the heart of West Seattle) is the iconic Alaska Junction, which is also less than a mile away. Visit the West Seattle Farmers Market, choose from dozens of eateries and bars, check out popular shops like Easy Street Records and Northwest Art & Frame (they have a super cute and huge gift section!)... and much more.

This car-friendly home makes it easy to come and go, whether you need to scoot to the grocery store or head into the city. A 1-car garage plus extra parking to the side of the home (there’s a double gate that opens up for even more space!) plus tons of off-street parking are at the ready. Here you’re just a few blocks off of Fauntleroy Way SW, making it easy to head north or south. Take it north to the West Seattle Bridge, which opens back up September 2022, whoohoooo! In the meantime, there are certain times of the day that you can use the lower bridge, and buses, medical professionals, and a few other groups are able to use the bridge anytime. At the same time, at this particular location, you’re especially close to a great option for circumventing the bridge closer.

Single-family homes that have been maintained and are trustworthy are always a solid bet, and there is always demand to live in a picturesque neighborhood like this one. This Happy Home also represents an excellent value, especially when you compare it to the rest of Seattle. For example, this house in Ballard would probably cost around $1.4 or $1.5 million. In Northeast Seattle, you can expect to pay around $1.5 million. And in the Leschi/Madrona area, you could expect to pay $1.6 or maybe even $1.7 million. This home is a great opportunity to put down roots and get the home/yard/garage (!) you’ve been dreaming about, all while still being in the city.

In 2012, this reimagined West Seattle gem underwent a studs-out remodel. Everything is in tip-top shape, from the thoroughly modern kitchen (with a newer 48-inch range) to the main floor primary suite with an ensuite bath, closet space galore, and deck access. On the lower level, 2 bedrooms, a bath, and a bonus room offer ample flexibility. Recently refinished hardwoods, new interior paint, brand new carpet, and a newer furnace are all in the mix as well. The backyard is super cute, too—hang on the deck and patio, and take in views of the lovely lawn and lush natural beauty just beyond!
