Located just two blocks from Alki Beach, this 5,070 SF NR3-zoned property offers a unique opportunity for builders, investors, developers, or buyers looking to renovate and create their dream beach-area home. The existing 940 SF home features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom and is largely original throughout, making it an ideal candidate for a major renovation or redevelopment project. Tax records indicate the home was built in 1949 and sits on a level 63' x 80' corner lot. The location is hard to beat.

Whether you're looking for a project home, long-term investment, or future development site, opportunities like this rarely come available. The NR3 zoning and corner lot configuration may provide attractive redevelopment potential, subject to buyer verification and City of Seattle approval. Property is being sold as-is. Buyers should be aware that a large tree toward the rear of the property may impact future site planning and development options. Property also shares a driveway and sewer line with the neighboring property to the west.
