Property Description

Seize a rare opportunity in the heart of desirable First Hill. This premier view lot currently hosts a substantial mid-century 3,220 SF residence, offering a robust canvas for those looking to execute a high-end luxury remodel.

Approved plans are thoughtfully designed to capture panoramic breathtaking west-facing views of Lake Washington, Olympic Mountains and dramatic sunsets through expansive walls of windows. The property is ideally oriented to capture unobstructed city skyline views. This shovel-ready lot includes plans for a two-story residence with a daylight basement. Offering both luxury and flexibility, the sophisticated layout features five bedroom suites with en-suite baths, along with a versatile office complete with a shower. Open-concept living spaces flow effortlessly to expansive entertaining decks, while the primary suite features its own private “million-dollar view” deck. A separate entrance leads to a permitted ADU (permit ADU25-001), perfectly suited for multi-generational living or income potential. With effortless access to I-90 connecting Seattle and Bellevue, this turnkey project presents an exceptional opportunity for investors or custom home builders to break ground immediately on one of the area’s premier view lots.
