About this home

Rare opportunity in Downtown Renton! This corner-lot property has been freshly updated with new flooring throughout and a fresh coat of paint, offering a clean feel from the moment you walk in, while still leaving room to make it your own. A detached garage, a true rarity for this neighborhood, adds valuable flexibility beyond just parking or storage, with future DADU potential for rental income, a home office, or multigenerational living. The large backyard offers even more room to grow, entertain, or expand. Buyers looking to build sweat equity can take this solid foundation and put their own stamp on it, whether that's updating the kitchen, reimagining the layout, or tackling projects at their own pace. Ideal for buyers wanting a fresh start with added upside, or investors drawn to the rare combination of a garage with expansion potential in a high-demand Downtown Renton location. Truly an amazing starter home! Enjoy the convenience of being close to everything: Renton Transit Center, Downtown Renton shopping and dining, The Landing, parks, and easy access to I-405 and SR-167 for commuters heading throughout the greater Seattle area. This corner-lot property with a rare garage and room to build equity won't last.
