Property Description
Attention Developers & Visionaries: A rare, high-upside opportunity in the rapidly ascending enclave of Upper Rainier Beach. Offered for the first time in decades, this one-owner mid-century classic sits on a premier view parcel, boasting expansive territorial and some city vistas from the primary living spaces. For the End-User: Bring your tool belt and your vision. This is the ultimate "sweat equity" opportunity -a mid-century bones-and-character home on a stellar, established block. The ascending elevation of 61st Ave S offers untapped potential that scales with your lifestyle. Under current NR3 zoning, the option to go vertical secures future views that morph with your needs. Why buy someone else's finished vision when you can secure the driver's seat in one of Seattle's top-performing neighborhoods? Build to suit or buy and hold; the choice is yours. For the Developer: A prime candidate for the One Seattle Plan. This site offers massive potential perfectly suited for a Four-Unit Stacked Flat model. Maximize ROI by capturing sweeping views from future Sub-Penthouse (SPH) and Penthouse (PH) levels. Strong alley access off Norfolk further enhances site logistics and construction feasibility. The Location: A high-demand pocket with a proven track record of appreciation. Whether you restore this mid-century beauty or develop for the future, the upside here is undeniable. Property offered strictly as-is.
