16733 98th Avenue SW

A little Vashon magic, just a stroll from up-town! Imagine a home where village life is just minutes away, yet your own backyard feels like a world apart. This distinctive property offers a rare combination of walkability, privacy, and island charm. Stroll five minutes to Ober Park, the Library, Ramble or the bus stop. Another five minutes brings you to the heart of town filled with restaurants, groceries, sundries, deli’s, hardware, the Farmers Market and delightful local shops. Leave the car behind and embrace the Vashon lifestyle. Beautifully renewed from top to bottom this 1,240 sf cottage celebrates its vintage character with fresh, timeless style. Extensive improvements offer comfort, quality and peace of mind. Changing sunlight and shadows lend the entire property a kaleidoscope beauty throughout the day. Sunlight streams through generous windows framed in Alaskan Yellow Cedar turning views of the outdoors into living artwork, reinforcing the feeling the landscape is an intrinsic extension of the home. Two spacious decks add 690 sf of outdoor living. The backyard retreat unfolds with winding stone pathways, a perennial garden, inviting fire pit and a charming garden shed. At its heart stands an extraordinary Ice Age glacial erratic granite boulder, a remarkable natural centerpiece. Turnkey and move-in ready, with easy-care grounds. Peaceful yet connected, vintage yet renewed, and unmistakably Vashon. A detailed list of improvements is available upon broker request.
