Retro-cool mid-century design meets urban convenience in this Shoreline split-level, tucked on a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Ridgecrest neighborhood. Poised for its next generation, this 3-bed, 3-bath vintage retreat pairs authentic 1960s character with an effortless layout. Located close to local cafes, shops, the historic Crest Cinema, and light rail, this home offers a private sanctuary with a direct city connection. Original oak hardwoods flow throughout the upper level, where an architectural open-grid partition wall defines the living space while allowing natural light to cascade abundantly. The living and dining areas transition into a kitchen and sunlit breakfast room. Down the hall, three bedrooms include a private primary suite, complemented by a full guest bathroom. Step into the ultimate 1961 vintage hangout. This daylight lower level features an expansive recreation suite with wood paneling, red shag carpet, and brick fireplace. An adjacent secondary space with a partial kitchen, updated windows, a half bath, and a laundry zone. A deep two-car garage with a built-in workbench completes this level. Step through sliding glass doors into a private, fully fenced large backyard oasis featuring a rare in-ground heated swimming pool enveloped by a concrete patio and mature evergreens. An upper-level deck projects from the main living floor, creates a seamless indoor-outdoor entertainment loop. This is a beautifully preserved slice of architectural history.
