6531 seward park (not on arterial) s

In a quiet enclave just up from the bustle of Seward Park Ave lies this sharp mid-century. Perched on a southeastern slope, the territorial view includes Mount Rainier and a peek at the lake. Glazed walls of glass wrap the living room where you're eye-level with the colorful canopies of majestic Magnolias. A gas fireplace enchants the space. The dining area comfortably seats six and opens to a wraparound deck (with gas stub for BBQ). The Swiss Army Knife of a kitchen is modest but mighty in terms of functionality, storage and workspace. Who knew such an exposed area could conceal so much? The primary suite peeks at the lake and enjoys a walkthrough closet that leads to a chic three-quarter bathroom. A second bedroom (with lake peek) and oak hardwoods finish out the main level. Downstairs discover a home theater with ceiling-mounted projector, giant screen and built-in seating. There's a second fireplace, a rec room w/sliding door to the lower yard and covered patio, another three-quarter bathroom, two more bedrooms (with generous closets) and a massive storage/utility room that begs to be a second kitchen in its next life. So much ADU potential in this lower level, with separate entrance and high ceilings. Central A/C. Newer gas HVAC. Upgraded elec panel. Huge detached two-car garage. Eight-car driveway. A sweet collective of neighbors. Step down to SP Ave for transit and bike lane. Continue onward to Seward Park, Columbia City, the Lakewood hub and light rail.
