About this property

Opportunity and flexibility in Fairmount. Updated for comfortable living today with uncommon potential for tomorrow, this classic brick home offers something increasingly difficult to find in West Seattle: a large, flat, fully fenced rear yard with paved alley access and strong future flexibility for DADU (buyer to verify). Set on a corner with convenient access off Findlay, the property combines traditional character with substantial system upgrades for long-term confidence. Refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, new carpet and an updated kitchen create a move-in-ready feel, while major improvements—including extensive electrical updates (2023), furnace (2023), roof (2022), sewer relining (2024), new downstairs bath and professionally restored, tuck-pointed and sealed brick exterior (2025)—mean the heavy lifting has already been done. Central A/C adds year-round comfort. The main floor features a spacious living room with gas fireplace, formal dining room, two bedrooms, full bath and an oversized hall with built-in library shelving. Downstairs offers two additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath—ideal for guests, hobbies, workspace, or flexible living needs. Attached one-car garage with EV charger. The standout: a rear yard with no significant trees, improved alley access, and the kind of usable space that opens doors for future possibilities—whether income generation, additional work-from-home space, or simply room to grow.
