Brighton Garden Home

 

If you’re searching for a solid, inviting home to begin your journey into homeownership and start building equity, this might just be the perfect fit. While it’s ideal as a starter home, it offers so much more. Thoughtfully updated and beautifully maintained, this home is designed for comfort, ease, and long-term enjoyment.

 

Step into a sun-drenched living room that welcomes you in, a renovated kitchen and bath that elevate daily living, and functional upgrades that make life just a bit easier. Outside, the yard is a true retreat—lush with flowering plants and fruit trees that attract hummingbirds and create a peaceful, vibrant atmosphere.

 

The current owners have called this home for the past ten years, creating countless memories within its walls. It was their first home and a truly special place—and now, they’re ready to pass it on to someone new. They leave with full hearts, knowing the next chapter for this home will be just as meaningful for its future owners.

 

 

 

If strolling past blooming cherry blossoms doesn’t already make you feel at home, stepping through the front door into the bright, sun-drenched living room certainly will. This inviting space is filled with natural light and offers sweeping territorial views of the neighborhood and the Cascade Mountains. And on clear days, keep an eye out—you just might catch a glimpse of the majestic Mount Rainier.

 

The welcoming atmosphere continues with beautifully preserved original oak hardwood floors, adding warmth and character to the space. Anchoring the room is a classic wood-burning fireplace—a timeless centerpiece that creates the perfect mood for cozy winter evenings while also adding charm and a sense of place year-round.

 

From the first steps inside to the breathtaking views beyond the windows, this living room is the kind of space that instantly feels like home.

 

 

This home is ready to host any kind of gathering, big or small—and the secret lies in its incredible outdoor space. Seattle’s temperate climate brings beautiful, sunny days during the warmer months, and while we all know the rain likes to make an appearance, this home has you covered—literally.

 

The covered, heated patio is a game-changer. Whether it’s a summer barbecue or a cozy fall get-together, you can entertain rain or shine. It’s the perfect spot to serve up a spread, unwind with friends, or simply enjoy the outdoors no matter the season.

 

The lush, fully fenced yard offers a safe haven for pets to roam and kids (or kids at heart) to run wild. And with such a generous lot, there’s room for just about anything—raised garden beds, a play area, or that backyard project you’ve been dreaming of. If you’ve got a green thumb, you’ll love the opportunity to grow fresh herbs and veggies right outside your kitchen door.

 

And here’s something you don’t find every day: a custom fire pit. It’s one of the standout upgrades the sellers made to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Picture evenings under the stars, treats in hand, and good conversation around the fire. It’s the kind of setup that turns an ordinary night into something memorable.

Owning a home is more than just having a place to live—it’s about stewardship. Every homeowner leaves their mark, blending personal style with thoughtful upgrades that shape the home’s story. The current owners of this home have embraced that role wholeheartedly, investing in both aesthetic improvements and essential updates to create a space that’s beautiful, functional, and ready for the future.

 

When they purchased the home, it still had its original knob-and-tube electrical system. Recognizing the importance of safety and modernization, they upgraded the entire electrical system—eliminating a major concern for future owners. But their improvements didn’t stop there.

 

Downstairs, they refreshed the space with new flooring and an updated bathroom, giving it a clean, contemporary feel. The 1950s kitchen underwent a complete transformation: new flooring, thoughtfully lit cabinetry, modern plumbing, and the addition of a long-awaited convenience—a dishwasher. One of their favorite personal touches? A charming little window in the kitchen that opens to the patio, perfect for passing a fresh pie or a cold drink outside on a sunny day.

 

On the more functional side, they tackled a partial chimney rebuild and added fold-down attic stairs, making it easy to access the generous storage space above.

 

Every improvement tells a story—of care, of creativity, and of a desire to make this home not just livable, but lovable. Now, it’s ready for someone new to continue the journey.

 

 

The finished basement in this home is ready to become your ultimate flex space. Whether you’re craving a cozy den to unwind with a good movie or a quiet retreat to focus and work from home, this area adapts effortlessly to your lifestyle.

With its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen sink, and wiring for a stove, this level offers all the comforts needed to host visitors—planned or spontaneous. And with a few simple steps, it even holds potential as a rental unit. Imagine the opportunity to generate extra income and offset your living expenses—all without sacrificing your own comfort.

 

Also on this level is the attached garage, which offers plenty of room for secure parking or extra storage. But here’s the real kicker: the garage space can be finished to add over 200 additional square feet of living area. That’s instant equity and a chance to boost your home’s value while tailoring it to your exact needs.

 

Whether you’re dreaming of more room to live, work, play, or earn—this space delivers.

 

 

When it comes to location, it really doesn’t get much better than this. Tucked into a peaceful neighborhood that instantly feels like home, this property offers the perfect blend of tranquility and connectivity.
