745 north 97th street

This spacious Greenwood home gives easy living the greenlight. Enter the main floor to a huge living room with hardwoods, a corner fireplace, and foliage-filled vistas. The open kitchen offers granite counters, a gas stovetop, and Stainless Steel appliances, plus an adjacent informal dining space. The primary suite boasts a large closet and ¾ bath. Next, two bedrooms, one of which offers deck access, and a full bathroom.  Downstairs, you’ll discover a sizable rec room with a fireplace and second kitchen potential, plus a fourth bedroom and home office (or 5th bedroom), full bath, and laundry. Out back, a sweeping deck is the perfect place from which to take in the exceptional backyard: A gardener’s paradise, you’ll find mature northwest plantings, fruit, vegetables, and more. The details of this Greenwood home are as appealing as they are plentiful: central AC for the hotter months and southern exposure for the cooler months help keep the temperature just right, as intelligent touches (like Marmoleum floors, hardwoods under the bedroom’s carpets, and a one-car garage) abound. And situated on a 7,450-square-foot lot in Greenwood, the neighborhood itself— tree-lined and filled with community gems— ensures no shortage of activity and exploration, located just over a mile from Northgate Light Rail Station. So for those with green thumbs and a penchant for peace, life here is nothing but green lights.
