Located at 916 N 143rd St in Seattle, Washington, this two-bedroom, one-bathroom home offers a thoughtfully designed single-floor layout that maximizes its compact footprint. Light-toned luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, creating a cohesive and easy-to-maintain aesthetic across all rooms. The kitchen is a functional centerpiece of the home, featuring warm honey-toned wood cabinetry with ample upper and lower storage, dark countertops, a built-in range hood, and a full suite of white appliances including a dishwasher, electric range, and refrigerator. Recessed lighting illuminates the space, which flows openly into the adjacent living area. A window allows natural light to filter in, adding to the bright, airy feel. Both bedrooms offer clean, neutral walls and continued plank flooring. The primary bedroom is a comfortable size, while the second bedroom features a window with outdoor views of the surrounding neighborhood. Each bedroom is served by its own dedicated closet — both equipped with wire shelving systems that maximize vertical storage space, with the primary closet offering a walk-in configuration. The bathroom is neatly appointed with a full tub-and-shower surround, a wood-tone vanity with a white countertop, a wall-mounted mirror, and recessed overhead lighting. The overall ambiance of the home is clean, modern, and move-in ready.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
