Originally constructed in 1990, the four-story building consists of five spacious residential apartments and one highly desirable commercial suite, creating a diversified income stream uncommon among properties of this size. The residential component includes four oversized one-bedroom units and one expansive two-bedroom unit, each featuring thoughtful floorplans designed to maximize functionality and natural light. All apartment homes benefit from southern exposure and offer generous living spaces, large bedrooms, well-appointed kitchens with abundant cabinetry, and private outdoor patios. Additional in-unit amenities include a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and air-conditioning. The ground-floor commercial space further enhances the property’s appeal, offering an attractive, flexible environment characterized by beautiful hardwood flooring, a kitchenette, and a private shower. This unique component provides investors with additional income diversification while serving a variety of potential tenant uses. The property has been meticulously maintained throughout ownership and features frame construction with durable vinyl siding and a pitched roof that remains in excellent condition. Additional tenant amenities include a common laundry facility, an inviting rooftop deck with neighborhood views, and an exceptional 1:1 parking ratio, an rare feature in Fremont’s urban core.
Fremont, located between Lake Union and Phinney Ridge, is a residential and industrial Seattle neighborhood with a canal-side waterfront and a street-art streak. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Fremont Ave N and N 36th St, where coffee counters, bike shops, indie boutiques, and late-night bars cluster under the glow of the Fremont Bridge. Brick warehouses and low-slung storefronts mix with modern townhomes along the Burke-Gilman Trail. The Fremont Troll anchors the north end of the bridge approach with offbeat public art. The Fremont Sunday Market turns curb lanes into a rotating lineup of makers and food stalls. Landmark institutions like Theo Chocolate and Hale’s Ales ground the area’s long-running creative commerce.
