South Park income-producing property featuring a beautifully updated Northwest Contemporary home with a basement apartment and detached DADU, offering excellent potential for rental income. The main home showcases vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, warm wood flooring, and abundant natural light. The chef’s kitchen is designed for both style and function with quartz countertops, stainless appliances, farmhouse sink, live-edge shelving, pantry, breakfast bar, and a huge quartz center island, along with skylights that create a bright, inviting space perfect for entertaining. Flexible living includes a main floor bedroom or office, full bath, and main-level laundry. Upstairs you’ll find a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and relaxing bathroom with jetted tub. The property also features two income-producing units: a lower-level apartment with kitchen, living room, den, private laundry and bath, plus a detached industrial-style DADU with loft, kitchen, bath and private laundry. Outdoor spaces include a walkout deck, private patio, and thoughtfully designed garden seating areas, along with RV parking, carport, and parking for up to five vehicles. Located in a central South Park location, this rare opportunity is ideal for investors or buyers seeking rental income to offset their mortgage. The main home and basement apartment are currently rented through August.
