Just one block south of the MAX Blue Line and steps away from a primary bus line, a public charter school and a neighborhood pre-school make this home an easy commuter and neighborhood hub or excellent to be a turn-key investor asset with NO RENTAL CAP. Step inside a light-filled, single-level interior showcasing new real hardwood floors throughout, an actual wood-burning fireplace, and all-electric utilities. The unique staggered architectural design ensures a rare layout with minimal shared walls and provides extra side windows that flood the home with natural light.
