Tucked away on quiet Genesee Hill overlooking the Puget Sound is a quality built 1990 home that has been carefully updated and lovingly maintained. West facing to take advantage of the glorious summer sunsets over the Olympic Mtns, the home lives on 3 levels. Main floor is open for great flow through kitchen, dining and living rooms to big covered deck overlooking the private backyard oasis with hedges for walls and raised garden beds around the patio. Up are the primary suite with a view deck, bath and wall of closets and a second bedroom with a sweet window seat and another bath. The lower level flex space could be a 3rd bedroom or a family room. One car garage completes. Short distance from Alki, the Junction and beyond. Welcome home!
