About this home

Recent zoning changes have been streamlined and developing this property is easier than ever before. Do you build a spacious single family home with a garage and rental income? Or perhaps cottage-style housing clustered around a central courtyard for a more vintage vibe? Contemporary townhomes would certainly fit well with the amazing community already created along the paved alley off back part of property. The opportunities are varied and the location is prime. Close to the transit corridor of Fauntleroy Ave SW yet property is on a quiet tree lined street with low traffic. Central location in West Seattle with surrounded by higher value homes in and well established neighborhood. Small house on lot. Value is in the land. Bring your vision!
