A slice of paradise in the city! Tucked down a private drive & surrounded by nature, this Matthews Beach bungalow offers an escape from the noise & busyness of life without sacrificing the convenience of city living. Towering trees, lush gardens & adjacent Thornton Creek all combine to create a peaceful, serene setting you'll love to come home to. Inside, the mid-century flair that you adore (hardwoods, vaulted ceilings, exposed beams & a centerpiece dual-sided brick fireplace) combine perfectly with the modern updates you can't live without (fresh paint, central A/C, a remodeled bathroom, an efficient tankless water heater & stainless steel appliances). Light & life flow easily from the open living area into dining, a refreshed kitchen & out onto the back patio for easy BBQs & memorable gatherings. All 3 bedrooms are bright & spacious w/ windows looking out to serene green views. The fully fenced yard includes garden beds + room to relax while you listen to the creek babbling below & songbirds up above. Easy parking for 2 cars plus extra room for storing tools & gear in the carport. Set in an outdoor lover's dream location w/ numerous parks, playfields, beaches & trails less than a mile away. Easy access to the beloved Meadowbrook Community Center, coffee, dining, schools, light rail & I-5 for connection to all that Seattle has to offer.
