About this home
Prime Investment & Development Opportunity in South Everett's Ruggs Lake Community! Rare 1.23-acre (53,579 SF) lot zoned LDMR, allowing 1 unit per 4,000 SF — with rezone potential to MR (1 unit per 2,000 SF), doubling density for townhome or multi-unit development. Based on current zoning, an estimated 10–16 units may be buildable on this lot (buyer to verify with Snohomish County Planning Department). This is a rare opportunity to secure a sizable, flexible parcel in a well-established neighborhood with strong rental demand and limited comparable inventory. Spacious 4-bed, 2.5-bath home (2,335 SF), sold as-is, currently vacant with rental potential of approximately $3,000/mo, offering holding income while permitting and entitlements are finalized. Sewer available in street, simplifying future development costs. Tucked on a quiet dead-end road with community access to Ruggs Lake, the property offers a peaceful setting while remaining minutes from Mill Creek Town Center, shopping, dining, and major employers. With Snohomish County's continued population growth and rising demand for multi-family housing, this property offers a compelling blend of immediate utility and long-term development upside. Ideal for developers pursuing a multi-unit build-out, or investors seeking a buy-and-hold asset with significant appreciation potential. Buyer and buyer's agent to independently verify zoning, unit count, and development feasibility with Snohomish County.
Silver Lake, located between I-5 and the Snohomish River, is a residential and commercial Eastmont neighborhood with a lakeside greenbelt and a retail corridor. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates around the Silver Lake area along 19th Ave SE, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and everyday services cluster in a steady hum. Low-slung mid-century houses and newer townhome pockets sit on curving streets that slope toward the water. Sidewalk loops and shoreline viewpoints shape a walk-and-run routine around the lake. Daily life often orbits Silver Lake Park’s fields and picnic lawns. For local flavor, this write-up requires verified iconic venues, but specific independent pillars in Silver Lake, Eastmont cannot be confirmed from the provided details.
