About 6511 51st Ave S

My Secret Garden Must see for clients who are looking for bang for their buck. This is the original Seattle easy going, older home lifestyle where you say ‘hi’ to your neighbors. Three large, and I do mean large, bedrooms including a vaulted master suite up, a master suite down, along with an extra 3/4 bath on the main. Two sets of French doors on the main floor open to 40 feet of covered veranda overlooking the lush backyard plantings, a large 3- tiered fountain and western area views. Fruits for all seasons in the extensive gardens; pears, apples, peaches, figs, grapes, plums. The interior paint could be freshened up but other than that this home will lift your spirits and favorably surprise you even before wandering the garden paths.
