Seattle, WA 98117
A rare opportunity to reimagine a classic Seattle home on an expansive 13,000 sq ft lot. Built in 1942, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 900 sq ft of single-level living with original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, a fireplace, and the character of an earlier era. The existing layout provides a straightforward canvas for renovation, while the generous parcel opens the door to exploring additional possibilities. Mature trees and established landscaping create a wonderfully private setting, with a long driveway and space to think beyond the footprint of the current home. Whether restoring its vintage charm, creating a thoughtful modern renovation, or considering the property through a longer-term development lens, this is an opportunity for a buyer with vision to shape what comes next. Buyer to verify all development and land-use possibilities to their satisfaction.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1942 with no evidence of major renovations, this property is over 80 years old and requires a total rehab. Interior photos show an unfinished bathroom with exposed walls and dated fixtures, while the listing description emphasizes the large lot for development and restoration, indicating significant deferred maintenance and outdated systems.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13000, living area = 900.
The massive 13,000 sq ft lot in the desirable Greenwood area offers rare development potential or space for significant expansion, providing exceptional long-term value.
The property features a rare waterfront view, a premium amenity in the Seattle market that significantly enhances the home's desirability and future resale potential.
With only 900 square feet and a 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout, the current structure is small and may require a substantial addition to meet modern living standards.
The property is positioned as a 'reimagining' project, implying that the existing structure likely needs extensive updates to its systems and finishes to be fully functional.
