Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1922, the home has good curb appeal with fresh paint and a new roof. However, the interior features dated wood paneling, older windows, and an unfinished basement with aging mechanical systems that will require modernization.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Location & Lifestyle
Situated in the desirable Crown Hill/Ballard area, the property offers a quintessential Seattle lifestyle with proximity to Puget Sound, local breweries, and a quick 15-minute commute to downtown.
- Recent Capital Improvements
The home features a brand-new roof (2026) and fresh interior and exterior paint, providing immediate curb appeal and reducing near-term maintenance costs for the buyer.
- Classic Character & Lot Position
This 1920s home is set on a desirable corner lot, offering vintage charm and architectural character that is highly sought after in the Ballard real estate market.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Square Footage
At 1,080 square feet with only two bedrooms and one bathroom, the home's compact footprint may be restrictive for growing families or those requiring a dedicated home office.
- Vintage Infrastructure Risks
Given the 1922 construction date, buyers may encounter typical older-home challenges such as limited storage, smaller closets, and potentially dated utility systems not mentioned in the updates.
