1742 NE 89th St
This 1931 brick home captures the timeless appeal of Seattle’s early 20th-century architecture while offering the flexibility today's buyers need. Built during the early years of the Great Depression—a time when few new homes were constructed—this residence reflects both craftsmanship and resilience. Solid masonry, thoughtful proportions, and vintage details give the home enduring character, while a series of smart updates have brought it into the modern era.
With a finished attic and a fully finished basement—complete with a separate entrance—the home adapts easily to multi-generational living, remote work, or rental income. Whether you're drawn to its history, its layout, or its potential, this home is a rare blend of old and new.
Highlights:
- Durable brick exterior with vintage charm
- Finished attic adds usable square footage
- Separate-entry basement ready for ADU conversion
Inside, you’ll find three bedrooms, 2.25 bathrooms, a formal dining room, a breakfast nook, and a cozy family room—plus two finished outbuildings in the backyard with electricity. Whether you need space for work-from-home offices, an art studio, guest quarters, or a home gym, this property offers the kind of flexibility today’s buyers crave. Every square foot is usable and full of potential.
Flexible spaces for:
- Remote work or creative projects
- Hosting overnight guests or extended family
- Future expansion or storage needs
The basement level includes a separate entrance, making it a prime candidate for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). With a little vision, it could serve as a long-term rental, in-law suite, or short-term Airbnb. Two finished backyard sheds with electrical service add even more options for passive income or creative use—whether that’s hosting, working, or relaxing.
Potential uses include:
- Full ADU rental or in-law suite
- Backyard Airbnb setup in powered sheds
- Artist studio
- office
- or workshop
