Located on a tree-lined street in Ballard, this custom mid-century home is on the market for the very first time. Upgraded in recent years with Hardie siding, double pane windows, newer hardwoods and LVP flooring, and fresh interior paint, this solid home is ready for your personal touch and remodeling ideas. Step inside to a spacious main floor with generous living and dining, 2 beds, 2 baths, laundry room, and large original kitchen with gas cooking and adjoining breakfast nook. Cozy up beside a wood-burning fireplace on cooler evenings. Downstairs you'll find an enormous unfinished basement with soaring ceilings, private entrance, and endless potential — perfect for future expansion, hobbies, or adding an ADU. The flat 5,000 sq ft lot features deck, patio, gardening spaces, and attached garage plus additional off-street parking. LR1 zoning is an added bonus for future development options. A rare find in one of Seattle's hottest neighborhoods. Walk to shops, parks, restaurants, nightlife, and everything else you love about Ballard. Excellent public schools as well. Opportunity knocks!
