Vintage Charm in West Seattle

Classic Tudor-style home on tranquil residential street a mile from Alaska Junction, 2 miles from Alki, 4 miles from downtown Seattle. Awaits your vision to be restored to original condition. Rehab financing available.

Character and Comfort

Graciously set back from the street for privacy, the home offers a welcoming circular floor plan. Entertain friends and family in the open living and dining areas replete with original features – oak floors, mahogany woodwork, and classic lighting. The bright south- and west-facing kitchen boasts an airy breakfast nook with built-in banquettes. A cozy series of rooms on the upper level lends itself to use as den, dormitory, and/or home office. Newer plumbing and radiant heat promise peace of mind. The large, rectangular, flat backyard with established plantings and detached garage grants entertaining, gardening and play space.

Use the home’s elegant bones as a framework for cosmetic improvements inspired by the neighborhood’s many well-maintained and freshly renovated homes. Or investigate the option of replacing the existing structure with 2-3 brand-new dwelling units, as permitted by new zoning regulations. Buyers are encouraged to verify with the City of Seattle the feasibility of new construction on the site.

Whether you decide to keep the classic home or replace it, take advantage of the opportunity to add a lucrative DADU to the level yard, which meets the City’s eligibility requirements for a detached accessory dwelling unit.

Connected to the Land

Seattle’s largest contiguous urban forest, the West Duwamish Greenbelt stretches over 550 acres on the eastern slope of West Seattle. A corner of the greenbelt, Puget Park, lies practically at your doorstep. Fox and red-legged frogs can be found here, along with hawks and wild eagles.

Hiking trails zigzag through the woods. In spring and summer, the West Duwamish Greenbelt Trails Group (WDGT) offers guided hikes on the first Saturday of the month. In 2021 Duwamish Tribal Services received a grant from King Conservation District to determine the feasibility of building a trail to link Puget Ridge and South Seattle College to the Duwamish Longhouse and Cultural Center. Heron’s Nest, another alliance between city government, the Duwamish Tribe (whose ancestors lived on this land since time immemorial), and community organizers, teaches the history of the region through outdoor education and volunteer land stewardship days.
