Rainier Vista is a neighborhood where the award-winning design still works exactly the way it was intended. Front porches, tree-lined sidewalks, pocket parks, alley garages, kids playing safely, and neighbors who actually know each other. It feels like a small village tucked into the city. This original-owner end-unit townhouse lives more like a house than a typical townhome, with a practical floor plan that makes good use of the space. All three bedrooms and two full baths are upstairs, including a generous primary suite set apart from the secondary bedrooms for privacy. The main level is open and functional with a bright living room with fireplace and built in shelves, dedicated dining space, large kitchen with good sized pantry space, hallway powder room for guests, and a back door drop zone. Fresh updates include brand new premium wide-plank oak LVP, new designer carpet with upgraded memory foam pad, new interior paint on walls, ceilings, doors, and trim, plus a newer roof. The alley entrance is the main access hub for day to day life. Park in the detached garage or additional owned parking space, say hi to your neighbor, come through the small patio and garden, and enjoy a quiet everyday arrival away from the street. The garage also offers extra room for tools, bikes, storage, or projects. With a walk score of 98, you'll find yourself walking more and driving less! Close to Columbia City and Mount Baker light rail stations, parks, restaurants, nightlife, Farmers Market.
