2. Dining Room
   
   The quaint, formal dining room has a picture window view of the green, green gardens out back. It is likely that at least part of your dinner came from there!

   The bright and airy living room has an open, circular floor plan leading into the kitchen and dining area. A wood-burning fireplace and formal mantle decorate the north wall.

25. Steps to...
    
    It's not just the house and the yard and the block...it's the community in which you are buying. Beacon Hill is coming up roses all around. Future Link Light Rail is just minutes away. Columbia City too. Which means dinners at La Medusa, take-out from Tutta Bella Trattoria and Jones BBQ, or coffee culture from Starbucks. Link Light Rail is almost here, plus the brand new Chief Sealth Trail, a future neighborhood P-Patch/Asian Garden nearby, fresh fruit stands, a soon-to-be-renovated Jefferson Park (think baseball diamond, city-view jogging path, basketball & tennis courts, park and more). Plus, you're a nine dollar cab ride to Safeco & Qwest Fields, the International District & Downtown...
    
    A staple of Columbia City and just minutes away...La Medusa is a must!
26. ...for when you're too lazy to harvest your own garden!
27. ...relax! Starbucks is just down the hill.
28. ...get away from it all with eighteen holes just up the street at the Jefferson Park Golf Course and driving range.
29. ...or escape with a good film...the 'old-fashioned' way (in a theater with popcorn).
30. Tutta Bella Trattoria. Wood-fired pizzas. Deelish pastas. For here or to go...
31. Just up the block is the entrance to the under-construction Chief Sealth Trail: a 3.6 mile multi-use path connecting Beacon Hill to the Rainier Valley. Dust off your in-line skates! Computer-generated rendering of Chief Sealth Trail, courtesy Wa. State Dept. of Transportation.
32. ...or just kick back with a local brew from Columbia City Alehouse.
33. This coffee house is just a few blocks away.
