West Seattle Open Houses

Never mind the weather. Sure, it’s been sunny and beautiful for the past few weeks (with some cloudy periods), but it’s fall now and there’s nothing you can do about it. Head out to West Seattle anyway and check out some of the open houses this weekend. Here are a couple of them.

This first one is a townhouse that’s been for sale for a little more than a month. It has 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 1,920 sf, and the asking price is $615K. The location is in an upscale neighborhood that’s close to everything at California and Admiral, and you’d be surrounded by other nice craftsman-era houses. Not to mention a short walk to Hamilton Viewpoint park, the Elliot Bay Water Taxi, and Alki Beach. This house is open from 1-4 Sunday.

The arrangement of this group of townhouses stands out from most others in the area because of the small courtyard in the middle, instead of a large block of townhouses stuck together with an alley behind them. The grounds, from what I’ve seen in the past, are kept up pretty well. This is the next best thing to owning a single family home.

This other house stands out primarily because of its price: it has come down almost 20% (from $765K to $620K) since May.

It has 4 beds, 3.5 baths, 3,100 sf, and it’s in a good location. You would be within walking distance of Hiawatha Playfield without being so close that you would have to deal with all the foot and vehicle traffic.

It also has some nice views and a good-sized backyard. If you’re in the area, check it out Sunday from 12-2.
