A room with a view
Residents in Fauntleroy experience a tranquil lifestyle with stunning views of Puget Sound. "Considering its relative isolation from the busier parts of Seattle, it's no surprise that the vibe in Fauntleroy is mellow," says Sotheby's International Realty's Sandra Hines, a Realtor/associate broker who lives in West Seattle. The biggest draw to the area is Lincoln Park, which is walkable from many parts of the neighborhood. "There's 1 to 1½ miles of waterfront for people to enjoy, just steps from home," says John L. Scott Real Estate Realtor Jonn McYnturff, a 21-year real estate veteran who lives in the northwestern section of Seattle. The neighborhood is also home to the Fauntleroy-Southworth Ferry, which connects locals to Vashon Island and the Kitsap Peninsula.

Community with many personalities
Fauntleroy comprises flat areas with wide streets and sidewalks, as well as a hilly region with narrow winding roads that lack sidewalks. Fauntleroy features different architectural styles depending on the home’s age and location. “There’s a mix of everything,” McYnturff says. “There’s a midcentury subdivision. You’ll also find Tudors, Craftsman and contemporary-style homes, many of which have views of the water and the Olympic Mountains.” Prices range from the more budget-friendly $573,000 to $3.9 million. For $625,000, a buyer can get a 1,290-square-foot two-bedroom, one-bath home that sits on just over 1/8 of an acre. A $2.5 million price tag offers a 1,610-square-foot waterfront home with two bedrooms and two baths.
