Quiet neighborhood with easy access to the 28 to go downtown or the 44 to head to UW & the train. Backyard flows easily out of the kitchen when the weather allows & has a small play area for kids. House well stocked with a quiet dishwasher & full laundry in the basement. 4 beds, 4 baths allowing great space for a family on vacation. Would definitely come back!
