Welcome to this spacious, mostly one-level home in the heart of Broadview. You will love the location of this level, sunny lot that is just a long stroll away from the entrance to Carkeek Park. The trail, located between two homes, is a neighborhood gem and will take you to the top of the picnic area.
There are several reasons to love 50s era homes. Some of the common elements are hardwood floors, large public rooms and lots of windows and this home has all of these traditional hallmarks. You will love the size of the generous living room and the amount of natural light that streams through the large picture window. The wood-burning fireplace will add warmth and ambiance on chilly fall evenings.
Entertaining is easy here. You have plenty of space for everyone. The generous dining room will easily accommodate a larger table. The nearby galley kitchen features contemporary colors, stone tile floors and a sunny breakfast nook. Fall is here which also means football parties. While this might be a building year for the Seahawks, you can still invite your friends over to watch the big game in your new family room. You will love this pleasant surprise as most 50s ramblers don’t have a separate family room. The room features a wood burning fireplace with insert and sliding door to the back. Also nearby is the 3/4 bath.
We love the flexibility that this 4 bedroom home offers. The main bedroom wing features three good-sized bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms have hardwood floors and the 3rd bedroom has hardwood under the carpet. Servicing the bedrooms is the original full bath. You will love the classic 50s color combination of the retro tiles that were recently refreshed with new grout. The 4th bedroom is located on the other side of the home. This would make a great, private home office or guest space. We love the funky wallpaper and hope the new owner keeps it. It’s such a perfect time capsule.
The hobbyist in the home will appreciate the spacious attached two car garage. There is plenty of space for storage, cars or hobbies.
This solid home is ready for your enhancements. This is the perfect home and location for investment and to build sweat and financial equity.

Not far from this home is Dunn Gardens. This is a privately owned 7.5-acre property composed of the remaining acreage of the estate of Arthur G. Dunn Sr., who made his fortune in the fish cannery business. Dunn bought the property in 1914 as a summer get-a-way for his family, and contracted the landscaping to the Olmsted Brothers. Upon his death, the property was inherited by his children. His son Edward B. Dunn provided for the care of his share of the estate in his will. A trust was created two years after his death to oversee the entire property. Dunn Gardens were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1994, and are open for special public events and docent-led guided tours April through July, and from September through October.
