Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Completed in 1928, this brick apartment building includes 17 residential units positioned above two commercial spaces. Twelve apartments have been renovated, and four include in-unit washer/dryers. Interior features include hardwood flooring, selected leaded-glass details, and exposed natural woodwork that retain the character of the original construction.

The property is located near the University of Washington, neighborhood bars and restaurants, I-5 access, University Village, and Green Lake. Its NC3P-65 Neighborhood Commercial zoning supports the existing mixed-use configuration. Short-term rental use would require City approval, and the property information also identifies potential master-lease interest from hospital-affiliated companies for housing interns, nurses, and patients.
