Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1992 (32 years old), the home falls into the >20y category. While it features recent cosmetic updates like new carpet and fresh paint, the kitchen remains dated with 1990s-era oak cabinetry, hexagonal tile flooring, and floral wallpaper. It is functional and move-in ready, but requires modernization of primary systems and surfaces to meet current standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Walkability & Transit
The property offers a rare blend of secluded, forest-like privacy while being just a 10-minute walk from Columbia City’s vibrant dining scene and the Light Rail for easy city access.
- NW Contemporary Architecture
Features soaring vaulted ceilings and an expanded deck that seamlessly connects the interior to the lush tree canopy of Genesee Park, creating a spacious and airy living environment.
- Turn-Key Condition
The home is move-in ready with recent updates including new carpet, fresh paint, and custom wood shutters, complemented by a versatile primary suite with a sunlit loft office.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Average School Ratings
While the middle school is highly rated, the assigned elementary and high schools have average ratings, which may be a consideration for education-focused buyers.
- Multi-Level Layout
The three-story configuration, with bedrooms split between the upper and lower levels, may pose accessibility challenges or be less desirable for buyers seeking a more traditional floor plan.
About 4525 47th Avenue S
Your own private forest, just a 10-minute walk from brunch. This stunning NW Contemporary is tucked into the woods along Genesee Park, offering the rare combination of seclusion and true walkability. Stroll to Geraldine's Counter for weekend eggs benny, grab a croissant at Columbia City Bakery, or settle in at Lottie's Lounge for a nightcap. Light Rail is close by too, putting the rest of Seattle within easy reach. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings connect the main floor to the second level, filling the space with light and making the home live larger than its footprint. New carpet, fresh paint, and custom wood window shutters give it a polished, move-in-ready feel. The expanded deck captures the tree canopy and park views, creating an easy connection to the outdoors. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a retreat, with a five-piece bath, walk-in closet, and sunlit loft that works beautifully as a home office. The lower level offers two flexible bedrooms, a full bath, a two-car garage, and generous storage. Secluded in the woods, yet walkable to Columbia City, Light Rail, and Seward Park.
