Stunning 3-Bedroom Home for Sale in the Heart of West Seattle

With stunning views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains, West Seattle boasts an eight-mile stretch of scenic waterfront. Just drive down Beach Drive to catch the scenic beauty along the coastline. For boating enthusiasts, Elliot Bay Marina is situated on the northern edge and offers boat slips, and is a lively hub for boating and other water activities. For outdoor enthusiasts, there are abundant green spaces, including Lincoln Park and Camp Long, as well as the iconic Alki Beach, where residents from all over Seattle head to in the summer.

West Seattle’s commercial districts are known colloquially as junctions. There are three, and they all run from California Avenue. The main one is simply called The Junction. Originally the location where two streetcar lines crossed at California Avenue and Alaska Street, it became a bustling commercial district by 1911 and is today considered the heart of West Seattle. For a more laid-back local atmosphere, Morgan Junction is situated around the city park from which the neighborhood gets its name.

Because of its location on the eastern shores of Puget Sound, West Seattle’s waterfront properties offer serene scenic views. On a clear day, residents can see the stunning Olympic Mountains towering over the water in the distance. The natural surroundings create such a stunning backdrop that it’s hard to believe you’re within the metropolitan area of a big city.

The most coveted West Seattle real estate and waterfront properties are those with direct and private beach access. Residents can enjoy leisurely walks along the shoreline and water activities, such as paddleboarding, swimming, and kayaking. Some properties even include private boat docks and slips, ideal for owners who want to anchor their boats right at their doorstep. These exclusive waterfront properties also give the ultimate sense of seclusion and privacy as opposed to many of Seattle’s more densely-populated neighborhoods.
