About this home

Rare opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind property on nearly an acre on a quiet, dead-end street in Woodmont, just around the corner from coveted Redondo Beach & nearby parks. Sweeping, unobstructed Puget Sound views to the west with complete privacy backing to public green space. This lot combines a dramatic, sloping site that enhances both outlook and seclusion, naturally preserving sightlines and protecting the surrounding landscape. The existing residence is ready for a comprehensive renovation, presenting an ideal canvas for builders, investors, or end-users with vision. While a portion of the lot is steep, the usable footprint offers ample space to design a custom view home that maximizes light, views, and indoor-outdoor connection. The lower level features a fully separate ADU with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, thoughtfully remodeled in 2021, perfect for rental income, guest quarters, or extended living during renovation. Commuters will appreciate the location, just 5 minutes from the Sound Transit light rail. With captivating water views, a private natural setting, and significant upside potential, this is a rare opportunity to bring a truly special property to life.
