About this home

Thoughtfully designed to capture the best of West Seattle living, this exceptional live/work residence offers incredible flexibility, modern design, and beautiful peekaboo views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains, and colorful western sunsets. The versatile main level is designed to adapt to your lifestyle—create the perfect space for your business, a dedicated work-from-home environment, guest suite, creative studio, game room, or additional living space. The thoughtful floor plan provides separation between work and residential areas while maintaining an open and connected feel throughout the home. At the heart of the residence, the chef-inspired kitchen features a natural gas range, generous workspace, contemporary finishes, and a seamless connection to the living and dining areas. Upstairs, an additional bedroom, full bath, and dedicated office provide even more flexibility, while the upper-level primary suite creates a private retreat away from the main living and workspace areas. Enjoy peekaboo views of Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains, along with a private deck designed for sunset cocktails. Built by a local West Seattle builder with an emphasis on quality, style, and functionality, every level has been thoughtfully considered for modern living. Dedicated parking adds everyday convenience, while the California Ave location puts neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, parks, shopping with Alaska Junction just minutes away. Off street parking available for purchase.
