About this home

A SEATTLE HOME WITH INCOME POTENTIAL AND A VIEW WORTH SEEING. What if your next home could also create a rental opportunity and help offset your mortgage? This rare University District property was completely remodeled just prior to purchase and meticulously maintained ever since. The result is a pristine home which is hard to find in the area. The 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom main home is paired with a completely independent 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment with its own private entrance, kitchen, living space and bathrooms. With a proven rental history, the apartment offers an excellent opportunity for rental income and could be ideal for UW students, visiting faculty, professors, professionals or extended family while maintaining privacy. The main residence offers generous living spaces, a spacious kitchen designed for gathering, well-positioned bedrooms and a turnkey layout ready to enjoy. Then step outside to the showstopping rooftop deck with sweeping views of Mount Rainier and the Cascade Mountains. Imagine morning coffee with the mountains, sunset gatherings or entertaining with an unforgettable Seattle backdrop. A two-car garage and additional off-street parking add value. Minutes from the University of Washington, South Lake Union, Downtown Seattle, Fremont and major Eastside employers, this is a rare combination of quality, flexibility, location and income potential. Come experience the condition, explore the possibilities and see the view for yourself.
