About this property

Opportunity knocks in one of Seattle's most coveted neighborhoods. Magnolia delivers a bucolic charm reminiscent of a simpler time ~ essentially a small town nestled into the City ~ minutes to Downtown, Queen Anne, Ballard, and South Lake Union. But who needs those other neighborhoods when Magnolia delivers so much in the way of delightful amenities?...Coffee shops, bakeries, restaurants, groceries, boutique shopping, and one of the most robust weekly Farmer's Markets on offer around town.This home is mere blocks from all of the above ~ plus playfields, Community Center, and 3 of the 4 schools Magnolia has to offer. This sturdy 1947 home has very charming street appeal and solid bones. It's ready for some hardy stewards willing to get their hands dirty in order to gain a foothold in a community that typically has a much higher barrier for entry. We had it inspected and will gladly share the report...yep, it needs a fair bit of work, but it's very livable as-is while you plot your improvements. Perched high above the street, this home has a nice presence and receives abundant natural light. A fun layout with French Doors opening off the kitchen to a wrap-around deck with lighted/covered gazebo. Two bedrooms and a bath on the main floor, with a 3rd bedroom, another bath, laundry, and family room in the lower level. Hardwood floors throughout the main floor. Attached garage has been used as a shop, with 220v and ventilation. So much potential here!!!
