This home is a standout value. Built in 2019 and backing to a private greenbelt, it offers the benefits of newer construction with many meaningful upgrades already completed. Over $60,000 has been invested in improvements, including air conditioning, high-end window coverings, a built-in wine fridge with bar counter, and thoughtfully designed storage throughout. The main living space is anchored by a GAS fireplace and large windows that frame peaceful backyard and greenbelt views, creating a private and comfortable setting. The kitchen provides generous counter space and a walk-in pantry, ideal for both daily living and entertaining. A main-level bedroom with a ¾ bath adds flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or a home office. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a professionally designed custom closet system, while three additional bedrooms and a large bonus area with added counter space offer room to spread out. The backyard is designed for low-maintenance enjoyment with an extended patio and artificial turf, and the two-car garage includes extensive built-in storage. Convenient access to the 1st Ave S Bridge and SeaTac Airport completes this well-rounded home.
