7565 46th Ave SW Seattle, WA 98136 Estate sale of single owner home in West Seattle, one half-block from Lincoln Park. Offered on the market December 11, 2011. SOLD - January 2012.

A new front door and a slate entry.	Low rockery separates home and street.  Facing is sandstone.
Living room looks out to the north end of Lincoln Park.  The park play area and wading pool are just west of the house. An alley and one row of houses separate this home from Fauntleroy Avenue.
	The unique fireplace insert warms the house by moving air from the basement.  A ceiling fan/vent in the hallway cools the house in the summer. The sandstone fireplace matches the front exterior stone. The home has been newly painted throughout. The dining room is adjacent to the living room. A pocket door separates the dining room from the kitchen.
The original kitchen has been well maintained.  It is in the NE corner of the main floor.
	The master bedroom is in the SW corner of the main floor at the end of the hall, just past the bathroom.  One large and one small closet are along the north side.
A full bath separates the master bedroom from two additional bedrooms and is on the south end of the main floor.
	The larger bedroom in the SE corner has a large closet and a smaller broom/utility closet. A large linen closet is off the hallway just outside this bedroom and between it and the bathroom.
The smaller bedroom was used as the den/computer room once the children went to college.
The full daylight basement has this central recreation room.  Ping pong was the family's regular pastime here.
	Additional storage is available under the stairs (but it also made a great secret hideout!)
	This bonus room was originally used as a workroom/shop. It is in the SE corner of the basement. In today's terms, it might be just right for a man cave. That's certainly what it became in recent years for our middle brother.     A 3/4 bath is accessed from this room.
An unfinished storage room/pantry includes a second refrigerator/freezer. Along with food, we stored lots of camping, boating, and ski gear here.
A brand new gas furnace is just one of the many upgrades made in preparation for this home sale. Mom had her laundry and craft room, with its own storage areas, under the kitchen and dining rooms. She could always hear when someone was getting into the cookie jar upstairs.

Ample off street parking is available on the paved south side of the back yard.  Access is from the alley west of the house.  As only the third house down, traffic in the alley is not a problem for this homeowner. The large sturdy garden shed in the NW corner of the backyard has lots of storage area and shelf space. Exercise bars are adjustable in height to accommodate all ages. The one-car garage under the master bedroom and bathroom has a workbench at its east end and has an electric garage door opener.

If you are interested in learning more about the history of the Sleight family home, from 1955 when we moved in to today, please feel free to contact the baby of the family (by five minutes), Dr. Dick Sleight.   Growing up across from Lincoln Park, swimming at Colman pool, beachcombing along Puget Sound, playing tennis on the nearby courts, running Cross Country on our "home course" . . .  it was a fabulous place to grow up and will be so again for the next family.
