About This Home
Positioned in the heart of Seattle’s sought-after University District, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of scale, flexibility, and top-tier craftsmanship just moments from the University of Washington. The main residence spans 3,092 sqft, complemented by a fully detached 1,058 sqft DADU—creating an outstanding opportunity for multi-generational living, rental income, or owner-occupied investment. Both the main home and detached unit have been completely and extensively remodeled with permits, featuring a new roof, new siding, new windows, updated plumbing, and modern electrical systems. Inside, every detail reflects quality and intention, with brand-new cabinetry, designer countertops, and premium appliances throughout, including a fully renovated lower-level kitchen. The spacious basement offers a separate entrance and functions as a private, fully remodeled living space. Large windows flood the home with natural light, enhancing the open and inviting layout. The fully fenced backyard features low-maintenance professional landscaping and secure, electrically powered gate access, while the detached DADU provides true independence and privacy. Better than new in every sense, this is a turnkey, high-performance property in one of Seattle’s most vibrant and connected neighborhoods.
