The story

  • Basement

Perched on a sunny corner lot in sought-after North Beacon Hill, this classic 1905 legal duplex blends early-century character with modern comfort and territorial views, just minutes from downtown Seattle. A true standout, the property features two oversized units that live large and feel more like homes than apartments, each offering 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. Both units were taken down to the studs and rebuilt with updated plumbing and electrical, individual gas forced-air furnaces, vinyl windows, and engineered hardwood floors. The kitchens shine with slab granite counters and stainless appliances, while the baths showcase porcelain tile and each unit enjoys its own utility room. Recent updates include a new roof (2024), fresh exterior paint (2025), and new interior paint in the downstairs unit, so the next owner can move in or lease up with confidence. Outside, enjoy a fully fenced yard and deck, four off-street parking spaces, and a detached one-car garage, a rare find this close to the city. Ideal for an owner-occupant seeking a savvy "house hack" or an investor looking to maximize rents, this property delivers flexibility and upside. Minutes to Beacon Hill Light Rail, I-5, and I-90. A rare opportunity to own a well-located duplex with space, style, and strong income potential. This is one you don't want to miss, and take advantage of up to 1% credit with preferred lender!
