Property Description
Rare opportunity to complete a custom waterfront residence on one of West Seattle's most coveted stretches of Puget Sound shoreline. Approved plans provide approximately 2,836 square feet of living space plus a 452-square-foot garage on an 11,124-square-foot waterfront lot. Approximately 42 feet of Puget Sound waterfront frontage with existing bulkhead protection, offering direct shoreline presence, sweeping water views, and spectacular sunsets over the Olympic Mountains. The project underwent a lengthy review and permitting process with the City of Seattle and construction was paused during that process. The Stop Work Order has since been removed, permits remain active, and a contractor estimate to complete the project is available. Buyers have the unique opportunity to customize finishes and complete a spectacular 4-5 bedroom, 3.5 bath waterfront home with sweeping Sound and Olympic Mountain views. Extensive planning, design, engineering, and permitting work has already been completed. Due diligence materials available upon request. Buyer to verify all information to their own satisfaction. Approved architectural plans available. Financing available via Mid-Construction Loan with Legacy Group Capital or other lenders via rehab loans.
