Property Description

Splendid Phinney Ridge craftsman filled with character!  Ideally located on 78th Street just steps from local cafés, parks, and schools. This inviting home offers approximately 1,650 square feet with 3 bedrooms plus an office and 1.75 baths, blending classic charm with thoughtful updates. This fantastic floor plan brilliantly uses every square foot and features a beautifully remodeled main floor bathroom, an updated kitchen, and a cozy fireplace with a large mantle and wonderful built-ins that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Natural light pours through south-facing windows, providing a "light and bright" feeling throughout the main floor.  The lower level offers 2 bedrooms, an office, and a three-quarter bathroom/utility room.  Outside, enjoy sunny summer evenings on the private back patio, complemented by a detached garage (wired for EV charging) and yard space perfect for relaxing or entertaining (exterior equipped with Rainwise). All of this in a fantastic location that’s ideal for long walks and just moments from some of the neighborhood’s awesome amenities - you’ll instantly feel right at home.
