About this home

Ideally located just a few blocks north of the University of Washington campus, this 5-unit multifamily apartment community is within walking distance of The Ave's retail and dining corridor and benefits from the neighborhood's excellent transit connectivity. The property features a desirable unit mix of two one-bedroom and three two-bedroom units, averaging approximately 763 square feet. The building has a pitched composition roof. Two units have been recently renovated, and capital improvements include an updated electrical system with Square D panels, new sewer lines and dual-pane windows throughout, reducing near-term capex exposure for a new owner. The three remaining classic units offer rent upside upon turnover, giving investors a phased value-add path rather than requiring day-one repositioning. Five off-alley parking spaces, a meaningful advantage in this parking-constrained submarket, plus on-site laundry and storage round out the offering, supporting both tenant retention and ancillary income potential. Offered at $265,000 per unit and below $350 per square foot, the property presents an attractive basis and offers long-term stability close to the city's largest institutions.
