Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1957 and largely in original condition, this home is exceptionally well-maintained but dated. While the kitchen has received minor updates (granite counters and stainless appliances) and floors have been refinished, the bathrooms and cabinetry are over 20 years old, placing it in the 'Fair' category as it requires modernization to meet current standards.
Situated in the highly sought-after Olympic Manor, this property boasts expansive, unobstructed views of the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, and shipping lanes from nearly every room.
Available for the first time since 1957, the home features classic mid-century elements including refinished oak hardwoods, a large sandstone fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that preserve its original character.
The partially finished lower level with a separate entrance and existing 3/4 bath offers a prime opportunity to create an ADU or add two additional bedrooms, significantly increasing the home's utility and value.
The 'functional' kitchen and original 1950s features suggest that the property likely requires substantial cosmetic and system updates to align with contemporary luxury standards.
At a $1.75M list price, the fact that the basement remains only half-finished represents a high price-per-square-foot for buyers who may still need to invest in completing the living area.
Olympic Manor Mid Century Stunner is available for the first time since it was built. 1957 classic with expansive views of the Olympics, Puget Sound, Boats and Shipping Lanes, sits perfectly at the corner of 23rd and 93rd - high above the street and taking in the views from almost every room. Three large main floor bedrooms with original and refinished oak hard woods, ample cedar lined closet space, a primary 3/4 bathroom with room to expand. The upstairs living room is all windows and the view, with a large sand stone fireplace and so much space. A traditional dining room with seating for 8 and built ins, leads to the functional kitchen with built in desk, room for a breakfast table and lots of counter space. Downstairs currently is half finished with an amazing rec room with its own entrance, fireplace, new carpet and paint as well as a 3/4 bath and room for the next owner to add up to 2 more bedrooms or recreate it into a ADU apartment. Big 2 car garage and an enclosed patio off the kitchen, rockeries and various side yards give you all the outdoor space you could want. Olympic Manor, famous for the Christmas Lights and incredibly friendly neighbors, is an easy and safe walking area, close to Ballard and Seattle, with all the views of Blue Ridge without the HOA expense. They simply don't make homes like this anymore - amazing opportunity to be in one of North Seattle's most desirable locations with a midcentury showpiece.
