Listing Provided Courtesy of Marketplace Sotheby’s Intl RtyValue is in the Land. Fantastic opportunity to develop 3 contiguous tax parcels in a FABULOUS location in Seward Park with Views of Lake Washington. This property sits at the end of a dead end street off of 53rd and Hudson Street in Seattle. Community steps at the end of 53rd provide access to a lovely pedestrian walkway (Ferdinand street which is no longer accessible to vehicles) offering a quick short cuts to both Lakewood Park & Ballfield to the West and the Ferdinand Street Hand Carry Boat Launch & Beach access to the east. Original parcels (5000+ sq ft each) had a single family home built on each of them. Currently only one stands on the Eastern most lot bordering 53rd. This home is vacant, boarded up and secured. Do not attempt to enter without prior permission. What will you do? Build 1 large home? 3 single family homes? Or will you take advantage of Seattle’s density need and build Townhouses / Condos or Apartments? NOTE: Please contact listing agent prior to accessing or walking property.
