Incredible opportunity to own this historic home gazing over the Seattle skyline at the end of California Ave! First time on the market in over 52 years. This home is ready for dream renovations to bring new life to this distinguished location! Some work had been started by previous owners so home is available to cash or hard money buyers only. Many vintage elements still in place to reinvent. Discover 2420 square feet of living space that includes a huge basement and 2 car garage! Light and bright main floor holds a large kitchen, dining room as well as a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace and French doors out to the back yard. Enjoy the scenery through the giant picture windows throughout the main floor! The home offers three bedrooms; one on the main floor and two upstairs that overlook Seattle and Elliot Bay! There is space for a full bathroom upstairs although not currently installed. Main floor offers a full bathroom and the basement does have a toilet and sink. The lower level also offers a large rec room with a cozy fireplace. Unparalleled location close to Admiral shopping and restaurants with Alki beach right around the corner! Hamilton Viewpoint Park is just steps away from your front door! Easy walk to Seacrest Park Cove 3 and the Seattle Water Taxi! So much potential here in an unbeatable location!
