This single-level midcentury home, on a large lot on a quiet street in Broadview, offers beauty and ease. Original details like the entry stone floor and cedar siding pair with tasteful updates and modern conveniences like air conditioning and new appliances.The layout is functional and inviting. The kitchen opens to an attached sitting room, with an adjacent butler pantry/laundry for extra storage and easy laundry days. The three bedrooms at the back of the house, including a primary suite, feel private and quiet, with wide windows, wood floors, and generous closet space. The attached garage fits a car with room to spare for bikes, tools, and camping gear, and the utility room makes a great mud-room. Don't let the square footage of this house fool you: with no stairwell, every square foot here is livable space.The yard encircles a large patio for entertaining, surrounded by lush, level grass, woodland play space, and gardens. The backyard outbuilding would make a great art studio, home office, or playhouse.Broadview's tall trees, quiet streets, and roomier lots give you room to breathe. It feels rural but puts you closer than you'd expect to transit, the library, and community center, and some of Seattle's iconic green spaces, including Carkeek Park, Llandover Woods, and Olmsted-designed Dunn Gardens. Nearby favorites for dining include Saltoro's, Diva Espresso, Pagliacci Pizza, Little Tings, and Aroy Mak Thai. Close to the best of Broadview, but worlds away.
