Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1975 (49 years old) with no evidence of major renovations. The kitchen features original dark cabinetry and dated appliances, while the interior retains 1970s-era wood paneling, popcorn ceilings, and older carpeting. The listing's emphasis on 'development opportunity' and 'personal updates' confirms the structure requires a full rehab to meet modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Development Potential
The property sits on a generous 7,200 square foot lot with NR3 zoning, providing a significant opportunity for developers or investors to capitalize on Seattle's residential density codes.
- Prime Walkable Location
Located in the desirable Columbia City neighborhood, the home offers excellent walkability to the Landmark District’s shops, restaurants, and farmers market, as well as proximity to Seward Park and Lake Washington.
- Versatile Layout
The 1,950 square foot split-entry design features a fully finished lower level with a bedroom, bathroom, and family room, offering ideal flexibility for multi-generational living or a rental suite.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Dated Interior Finishes
Built in 1975 and described as ready for personal updates, the home likely requires a significant budget for cosmetic modernizations to meet current market standards for high-end finishes.
- Inconsistent School Ratings
While the area is served by some high-performing institutions like Mercer Middle School, several other assigned schools in the immediate vicinity carry lower ratings, which may impact appeal for education-focused families.
