About this home

What if your first home could also become part of your future investment plan? This beautifully updated cottage-style home in West Seattle’s Highland Park neighborhood offers something increasingly rare: the freedom to choose what comes next. Set on a generous & flat lot size of 7,140 sq ft, with alley access & NR3 zoning. This property offers a compelling multi-unit development potential of 4+ units (buyer to verify). Or simply move in and enjoy a home that has already been thoughtfully transformed & permitted. Renovated from top to bottom, it features a 30-year roof, PEX plumbing, updated windows, new paint, a rebuilt electrical panel, new heaters, a mini split for year-round comfort & AC, engineered hardwood floors, an insulated crawlspace & a new front porch. The reimagined kitchen pairs quartz countertops with updated cabinets, while the beautifully renovated bathroom completes the turnkey experience. Choose the path that fits your vision. Make it your 1st home and enjoy it today, with room to add onto the property later. Hold it as an income-producing rental, previously rented for $2,500/month, with long-term upside. Or generate rental income while pursuing permits for a future multi-unit development. Just blocks from Highland Park Elementary and Highland Park, this charming West Seattle cottage offers more than a beautiful place to call home. It offers flexibility, future potential, and the rare opportunity to own a property that can grow and evolve with you.
