The Adorable Sweet Orange Craftsman

In the heart of the West Seattle Junction, this turn of the century Sweet Orange Craftsman is available for your next visit! This colorful, cozy, carefully-crafted home has a spacious 1200 sq ft of living space with 2BR/1BA. A delightful bonus is an urban view of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains! Hardwood floors, large area rugs and tasteful furnishings invite you in to curl up next to the toasty gas fireplace in the winter or bask on the sunny deck, in the summer. BBQ on your Stok charcoal grill or walk down the street to more than a dozen good eateries. Cook up a storm, if you are a home body. The kitchen is well appointed! The comfortable king master bedroom adjoins a small sun porch, with a twin sofa pull-out. The sunny guest room opens with french doors to the view deck, with a comfortable patio table and umbrella. The house has all the usual amenities and more. It is super clean and well-cared for. Many little details create an atmosphere you can settle into quickly. The Sweet Orange is fantastically located in "The Junction" neighborhood of West Seattle: an urban village of quiet residential homes with a walkable core of shops, pubs, and restaurants galore...just around the corner. Enjoy live theater (Arts West) and the local block-long Sunday Farmer's Market. Walk to the famous Bakery Nouveau on your way a local coffee shops or grab breakfast at Easy Street records. Hop down to the Metro bus hub for travel throughout the city, or shuttle to the downtown Water Taxi.. You can be in the center of downtown or ready for games at both stadiums, in 15 minutes, by bus or car (outside of rush hour, of course). There are 2 grocery stores, 2 drugstores and 2 health clubs just 2 blocks away!. An excellent natural food co-op is 1 mile down California Ave. The butcher and the fish market are 1/2 mile. Everything you need is close...but not too close for peace and quite. Hop on a ferry to Vashon Island and the Olympic peninsula or simply watch for sea otters at the city's best Lincoln Park, less than 1 mile away. Spend the day at Alki beach, only 2 miles away. Enjoy an 18-hole urban golf course 1/2 mile from the house. While the Orange is a great home base for visiting elsewhere, but you really may never want to leave West Seattle! For larger groups, add on the totally cozy and artsy 900 sq. ft. mother-in-law apartment, with another 2 BR/1BA, on the lower level and a separate entrance. The Tangerine Dream has tile mosaics and rich colors everywhere, with a huge master bedroom, guest room and bath. French doors open off the bright living room onto a large covered deck with table and chairs. The garden calls you out into the sun, or bake inside next to the freestanding gas fireplace.
