5915 Seward Park Ave S — Inside Look

October 4, 2015 By Marius

I was touring homes on the South side of Seattle and came across this lovely home near Seward Park. I only had time for a few quick pictures with my iPhone, but I knew from the moment I stepped into the octagonal foyer that I would find plenty of charm further inside. It may lack some modern conveniences, but if you like the look of colorfully tiled bathrooms, old radiators, and masonry you would probably enjoy looking inside.

 

Stats

  • Bedrooms: 4
  • Bathrooms: 4 (two of them are half-baths)
  • Size: 3,330 square feet
  • Year Built: 1927
  • Listing price: $750,000

Red construction crane and a new modern building.The Downtown Seattle Association just released the 2015 State of Downtown Economic Report. Don’t let the name of the report scare you away from opening it. The report is a beautiful and easy to read summary of the Downtown neighborhoods, major development projects, and stats on transportation, housing, employment, and demographics. Flip over to the section on construction and you’ll see billions in construction projects.

 

A few facts from the report:

  • Capitol Hill has the highest population of Downtown neighborhoods, followed closely by First Hill
  • There are 52.3 miles of bike lanes, shared lanes, and trails
  • Downtown has the parking capacity of around 100,000 vehicles
  • 24 net new residents move in every week and 25 new jobs per day since 2010
  • The most expensive recently completed project is Stadium Place West Phase 1 at $255,000,000

About Marius Grigoriu

Not your ordinary real estate agent. I have a long history in tech, and I invest my own capital; buying, fixing, and selling my own homes. I realized, after signing many real estate contracts, that I could share my experience with others. I ignore the high pressure playbook that other agents use and instead pay attention to my clients.
