Other things to note
This 750 sf cottage was Recently renovated. When remodeling, we tried to keep the vintage and yet incorporate modern conveniences in the kitchen and a new bathroom and a laundry room.
We are told that this cottage is one of the last few surviving cottages that originally sat on Alki Beach, and were later moved to 64th Ave SW along with Doc Maynard’s house, which is just a half block away, and has been lovingly restored.Doc Maynard was one of the original founders of West Seattle and Seattle proper and rather a character. We suggest reading Sons of The Profits, if you are interested in a real look at the history of Seattle.

It’s a short walk to excellent beach dining, coffee shops , and other activities, fun rentals such as. Bicycles, kayaks etc.. plus extensive bus service and the water taxi shuttle that takes you to the water taxi which takes you to the Seattle Water Front area, from there you can walk to the aquarium pike place market, monorail etc.
