Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
While built in 1894, the home is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features recent exterior updates including paint and vinyl windows (approx. 2 years old). The interior shows well-preserved original hardwoods and a functional, though dated, kitchen and bath with some newer fixtures like a clawfoot tub and heated towel rack.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Historic Victorian Charm
Built in 1894, this home preserves its timeless character with soaring 9'+ ceilings, original hardwood floors, pocket doors, and unique period details like skeleton keys and a clawfoot tub.
- Prime North Admiral Location
The property is situated in a highly desirable, walkable neighborhood minutes from Alki Beach, local cafes, and top-rated schools, including Lafayette and Genesee Hill Elementary.
- Development & Equity Potential
With a 4,312 sq ft lot and alley access, there is significant potential to add value through the construction of a garage or a Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (DADU).
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1760, other record living area = 1600.
- Vintage Infrastructure Maintenance
Given the home's 1894 construction date, buyers should anticipate higher ongoing maintenance costs and potential needs for system updates common in century-old properties.
- Lack of Immediate Covered Parking
The property currently lacks a garage or carport, which may be a drawback for buyers requiring protected vehicle storage or immediate enclosed utility space.
