NEIGHBORHOOD HIGHLIGHTS
Tucked along Lake Washington's southwestern shores, Rainier Beach is a wonderful residential community with quaint neighborhoods, local eateries, and numerous lush green spaces. Conveniently close to downtown Seattle, Renton, SeaTac Airport and the Eastside, this fabulous area is both quiet and convenient, with so much to explore right here! Stroll through the famous 20-acre Kubota Garden with impressive blooms and trails, or head to a number of waterfront parks to swim or launch a paddleboard. Cuisines of all kinds are nearby, many run by local families - there's always something new to try! A commute in any direction is easy thanks to two light rail stations nearby (Rainier Beach and Othello), plus multiple bus lines and access to I-5. Head downtown to shop, to SoDo for Mariners or Sounders games, or to SeaTac to jet off on your next adventure - all easily accessible from here! Rainier Beach feels worlds away from it all yet you still have all the conveniences of living in a major metropolitan center.
TOP THINGS OUR CLIENTS LOVE ABOUT THEIR HOME
• This home basks in great natural light all year round - it doesn't feel dark and cold in the wintertime, even on the rainiest of days! We had an extensive collection of plants that were all thriving thanks to the great amount of light coming in.
• Both of the upstairs bedrooms make fantastic home offices or flex spaces. We even used one as a music studio! There's really no shortage of useful space here.
• You're a short stroll away from the famous Kubota Garden - a hidden gem in south Seattle that truly stuns all year! Pick up a coffee and go wander through the trails, Japanese-style gardens, and along ponds surrounded by flowers. It's a really special, peaceful place!
• We loved to host in the large fenced backyard! It's got plenty of space for friends to spread out at a BBQ, plus room for pets or kids to run around. You can catch great views of sunrises out there as well!
• The 2-car garage has been perfect for us - we used some of the space to park and the rest for storage, working on projects and a motorcycle!
• We loved having the flexibility of the daylight basement - it was perfect for watching movies, having guests, and just having more room to spread out.
• There are so many hidden gems in the general neighborhood when it comes to dining out. You can find cuisines from all over the world and so many local, family-owned restaurants. A short drive away, you also get access to all the fun spots in Beacon Hill and Columbia City - some favorite spots are Sam Choy's Poke, Geraldine's Counter, Milk Drunk and Stonehouse Cafe.
• Getting downtown or to SeaTac is super easy from here thanks to nearby access to the light rail. The Rainier Beach station is a short drive or bike ride away!
• Cooking in this kitchen is so dreamy and fun! It was beautifully updated by the previous owner, and has tons of countertop work space and cabinet storage. The flow of the space is ideal for entertaining too, since there's a breakfast bar as well as a more formal dining area.
• The gorgeous Seward Park is really close-by - it's an incredible place to go for a walk or run, swim in the summer, or just stroll along the boardwalk looking out over Lake Washington!
