Property Description
Value is in the Land. This newly zoned NR 9,600 sq ft property, with no MHA, offers a rare developer opportunity in the Graham Hill/Seward Park corridor. Located within 0.25 miles of Frequent Transit bus route 7, this parcel qualifies for zero on-site parking requirements. The site's west-facing 17% +- slope provides panoramic views and sunsets over the Beacon Hill and West Seattle ridges and beyond to Olympic Mountain caps. Per zoning, this expansive 75' w x 128' d lot provides a building envelope optimized for numerous multi-residential configurations. For builder site readiness, the following have recently been completed - a sewer scope, oil tank decommissioning, and a preliminary tree survey identifying 6 trees (with 1 Tier 2 Apple along rear east lot line set back). The designated Environmentally Critical Area (ECA) on the property is limited to the rock wall along the north lot line. On-site utilities include water, sewer, and electricity, with gas in the street. Your land. Your vision! Build the new possibilities. Sell the views!
