3707 SW Thistle

Stop scrolling. This is the West Seattle house that checks the boxes people swear you can’t get in one place: a true primary suite, A/C, and a backyard made for real life. Tucked in the Gatewood/Thistle pocket, this refreshed 1941 single-level is 3 bedrooms, 1.75 baths, and 1,160 sq ft — and it lives bigger because the layout is smart and the upgrades are the kind you feel every day. The kitchen is clean, updated, and sharp with quartz counters, stainless appliances, and glass tile. Hardwoods carry the vibe room to room. The primary suite addition gives you a legit retreat with an ensuite bath. Tankless water heater? Yep. Air conditioning? Yep. Outside is where it gets unfair: a fully fenced 5,075 sq ft lot with a huge stamped-concrete patio and gazebo — grill, lounge, host, repeat. Detached garage + shed means bikes, boards, tools, and holiday bins finally have a home. Location: quick shots to Lincoln Park trails + beach, Alki sunsets, and The Junction for coffee, restaurants, and groceries — while your street still feels calm and residential. Easy access to the bridge and the Fauntleroy ferry when you want out of town. If you’ve been wanting a home with the big-ticket improvements already in place and the lifestyle West Seattle is known for, this one delivers — easy one-level living, modern comfort, and a backyard oasis that actually gets used. It’s the kind of place that makes weeknights simpler and weekends better: park time, beach time, dinner with friends, repeat.
