Welcome to The Great Big Green House! This 1906 duplex has been updated and is ready to serve you in many income-generating capacities!
This fresh exterior boasts all new windows and paint, full fencing front and back, rebuilt decks, and a new automatic gate for secure parking.
Unit #2015: view from the entryway - note the original built-ins and columns, and space to flex between living and dining areas.
Unit #2015: the living area is light and bright, and now more energy-efficient with all new double-paned windows (complete with new motorized black-out blinds).
Unit #2015: Dining area flowing seamlessly back toward the living room.
Unit #2015: Looking back toward the front entry - note the second matching built-in bookcase and columns, framing the transition between living and dining rooms.
Unit #2015: Another view of the living space - and when you arrive you'll notice the new (antique) Dutch front doors on both units.
Unit #2015: The dining spacious dining room accommodates a much larger table for entertaining, and is just a few feet from plenty of prep space in the kitchen beyond.
Unit #2015: Another view of the dining room, showing the passage to the kitchen and door to the covered back porch beyond.
Unit #2015: With exposed brick and reclaimed wood accents, the updated kitchen brings modern convenience to the 1906 original charm. The door to the basement is visible in the far right corner of this photo.
Unit #2015: The kitchen has so much space and potential to fit your life - use it for an eat-in nook, or expand to create a true chef's kitchen.
Unit #2015: Expand this part of the kitchen to suit you, or turn it into a breakfast nook!
Unit #2015: Upstairs the largest of the three bedrooms is located at the front corner of the house, with both north and east-facing windows - complete with black-out blinds for added comfort.
Unit #2015: This sunny second bedroom is adjacent to the bathroom at the top of the stairs.
Unit #2015: The upper level has original fir floors, highlighted here in the third bedroom.
Unit #2015: Updated bathroom with fresh tile and glass shower surround.
Unit #2015: Another view of the updated bathroom with built-in storage shelving.

Unit #2015: One of the areas in the unfinished basement.
Unit #2015: Each unit has its own laundry area, in a glassed-in porch off the kitchen; the other end of this space has plenty of pantry and storage space to utilize, as well as an exterior access door (this unit exits to the alley, while #2011 exits to the yard).
Both units are accessed from the completely-rebuilt front porch, and feature twin vintage Dutch doors for when you want a fresh summer breeze.
Unit #2011: First view of unit #2011, tenant-occupied. The living room features the beautiful original built-in cabinets and pillars.
Unit #2011: The open living area flexes to any needs - when you don't need a dining room, it can be entertainment central!

Unit #2011: This angle of the kitchen shows an eat-in configuration of this flexible layout.
Unit #2011: Upstairs, this is the front bedroom, and largest of the three in this unit. Windows face both the front of the house (north) and the yard (west).
Unit #2011: The middle upstairs room, used as a home-office by current tenants, looks out over the yard - just wait until that rhododendron pops into bloom!
Unit #2011: The third, rear bedroom is adjacent to the bathroom, and also looks out over the lush green yard.
Unit #2011: Updated bathroom serves all three upstairs bedrooms.
The automatic gate opens to reveal secure parking! Currently configured for one space, but some rhododendron pruning can create more parking as needed.
This porch off Unit #2011's kitchen was completely rebuilt and offers built-in seating and great space for a BBQ!
The house is set at the far end of the 5,400 SF lot, preserving a huge yard space for play or even further development (buyer to verify). Garden shed was built on-site, and makes great tool and toy storage.
Corner lot with alley access - this shot shows the rear of Unit #2015, with external door and gated (gray fence) access to the yard. (The bright wood gate is part of neighboring property.)
This aerial view shows the positioning of the house all the way on the left side of the corner lot, with plenty of open green yard to the right.
Looking east, note the proximity to Garfield, Lake Washington, and city amenities.
An aerial view looking southeast.
Looking west, this house makes for an easy jaunt downtown, to Capitol Hill, Seattle U, and hospitals.
Fenced front yard and easy alley access.
The Great Big Green House is ready to serve you as an investment - whether you live in one unit and rent the other for income, or rent out both sides, or manage a short-term rental, or consider developing further...
Floorplan for Unit #2015 here - and Unit #2011 is similar but reversed orientation. All measurements are approximate.
