About this home
Live beautifully. Let the other two dwellings help pay for it. This extensively renovated University District property combines a refined Craftsman residence with a basement ADU and a detached DADU, offering three complete dwellings with separate entrances, their own kitchens, living areas, and washer and dryers. The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2.75 baths, generous living space, and a beautifully finished kitchen with designer cabinetry, premium countertops, and stainless steel appliances. The basement ADU offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, while the detached DADU provides another 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in a private, standalone setting. Each dwelling allows its occupants to enjoy their own daily routines, making the property compelling for multigenerational living, extended guests, or an owner seeking rental income. Quality finishes carry throughout, complemented by extensive updates to the roof, siding, windows, plumbing, and electrical systems. Air conditioning in the main residence, ADU and DADU, fenced grounds, electric gated access, and off-street parking complete the package. Close to UW, parks, transit, hospitals, and Seattle employment centers, this property connects distinctive living with practical opportunity. Occupy the dwelling that suits you and rent the other two, or bring multiple household together while preserving privacy. Floor plans, loan examples, and projected income figures are available in the property package.
