About this home
A distinctive investment opportunity in the heart of Capitol Hill - leafy views and a lovely outlook toward the green space of Miller Playfield add to this special setting. Two separate residences on one property offer tremendous flexibility for investors and owner-occupants alike. The character-filled, updated 1910 front house features a large living/dining space, 2 bedrooms (with original fir floors) and 1 full bath on the main floor. With its own exterior entrance, the lower level offers a beautifully finished bonus room ideal as a media space, home office, or nonconforming third bedroom, along with a convenient half bath. The expansive, partially finished space beyond presents exciting possibilities for additional living quarters or even possibly a third income-producing unit. A separately situated, 2022-built 1-bedroom DADU adds a valuable second residence and compelling income opportunity. (DADU currently rented on month-to-month lease.) Live in one and rent the other, explore multi-generational living, or add both to your investment portfolio. Professional property management rental estimates available upon request. Location is equally impressive: stroll to Capitol Hill's Link Light Rail and 19th Avenue favorites including Macrina, Cone & Steiner, Rocket Taco, and Hello Robin. Additional nightlife, Volunteer Park, all within easy reach. A rare combination of character, versatility, and long-term investment potential in one of Seattle's most desirable neighborhoods!
