About this home

3 tax parcels! First time on the market since 2008, the iconic Unicorn Sports Bar has been a local gathering spot for several decades. Situated in the midst of a wonderful residential area, the sale includes three separate tax parcels. There is a storage basement under the bar and an attached one bedroom, one bath ADU. There is a separate storage unit on the lot as well. Recent changes to the city zoning means that homes could be built on each lot or, with the city's approval, continue with the building's current use. Build up for a gorgeous view of Commencement Bay and the Ruston waterfront!
