About this home

Character, comfort, and over $40,000 in thoughtful upgrades come together in this charming 1942 Burien home. Beautiful hardwood floors and wood details set a warm tone throughout. Get cozy by the fireplace with wood-burning insert, which is perfect for crisp Northwest evenings or morning coffee by the fire. Two bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, with a bonus room in the basement ready for your office, gym, or guest space. The big ticket work is done: full rewiring, central air conditioning, (new heat pump and air handler installed in 2023), and a new water heater mean you can simply move in and enjoy. Outside, the huge backyard and oversized deck is a gardener and entertainer's dream with ample room to garden, host, and just hang out. Darling backyard shed was installed in 2025 and offers additional storage, or space for activities and hobbies. The garage conversion has been started, bring your imagination and finish it your way as a studio, workshop, or flex space. All this just minutes from downtown Burien's shops, delicious restaurants, and year round Farmer's Market. Vintage charm plus modern systems, what an incredible place to call home!
