Description
This home was renovated with love. The seller's plan was simple: stay forever. After ~$150K in improvements and a full transformation, life had other plans. What she's leaving behind is one of the most beautifully finished homes in Vermont Knolls and one very lucky buyer's gain. Original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings with hand-carved wood corbels, and dramatic exposed beams anchor the living spaces. The kitchen was fully renovated with quartz counters, a farmhouse sink, and black stainless appliances. The primary suite features a serene en-suite with bold encaustic tile and a steel-frame glass shower. The second bath is a showstopper: freestanding soaking tub in a plastered arched niche, dual vanity, and walk-in shower. New roof, new HVAC, full electrical upgrade, solar, custom closets, automated gate, fresh landscaping. Nothing left to do. The detached two-car garage offers ADU conversion potential for rental income or multi-generational living. Two bedrooms, two baths, 1,404 sq ft on a 4,080 sq ft lot two miles from the Lucas Museum and Exposition Park's 2028 Olympic corridor. Welcome home!
