South Seattle: Free Bus With Purchase
Another fine opportunity for creative outdoor landscaping has cropped up, this time in the small neighborhood of South Park. Not only is this house well below the $300,000 mark, the buyer gets a free historical Seattle public bus!
The house itself looks to be fairly well-worn, but serviceable. Thistle Street is, by and large, definitely one of the more pleasant lanes in the schizophrenic South Park zoning world. Unfortunately, the building across the street from this humble cottage puts the ram in shackle, but maybe spray painting something that reads like “super bowl yahgr” on your front door is a hip new proto-industrial statement. However, the upside is that the property is off the busy main drags, yet still close to amenities and transportation corridors.
But, more about the bus. It’s long, blue, and forms a natural barrier across the back of the property, successfully shielding the backyard from the alley. Check out this little known organization for preserving depression-era Seattle metro buses to get the gist, or click on the main listing for a few shots of the vehicle in situ.
One more thing, there is an open house this weekend: Sunday, April 29th. 1-4pm. Correct change only.
The Toll: Price: $245,000. No previous sale information listed. 1,260 square feet. 3 bedrooms, 1.75 baths. All information taken from sources deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
