Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1929, the property is well-maintained with a brand-new roof and original hardwoods, but interior photos reveal dated bathroom fixtures and exposed plumbing. While functional and move-in ready, the home's age and lack of a full modern renovation to kitchens and systems place it in the fair category, requiring cosmetic and likely system updates.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Transit-Oriented Location
The property is ideally situated near the Othello Light Rail Station, providing exceptional commuting convenience and easy access to downtown Seattle and surrounding amenities.
- Generous Lot and Outdoor Living
Featuring a 6,920 sqft lot with a private backyard deck and mature landscaping, the home offers significant outdoor space and privacy that is rare for an urban residential setting.
- Vintage Charm with Modern Protection
The residence maintains its 1920s character with original hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace, while offering peace of mind with a brand-new roof.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Inconsistent School Ratings
While the elementary school is highly rated, the assigned high school has a low rating, which may be a concern for families prioritizing long-term educational stability.
- Potential for Age-Related Maintenance
Built in 1929, the home may require ongoing investments in plumbing, electrical, or insulation systems to meet modern efficiency standards beyond the recently replaced roof.
