Mid-century rambler in Richmond Beach. 3 bed / 1.25 bath, about 1,500 sqft on a corner lot in the Shoreline School District. A 10kW rooftop solar array powers an electric heat pump (efficient heat and AC), all appliances, and a Level 2 EV charger, making this one of the most energy-efficient homes on the market. The house was re-insulated, so it holds temperature beautifully and is quiet, even on a corner lot. Inside: original oak hardwoods and updated tile, single-level living, abundant natural light, a gas stove for cooking, and big windows that let in light and look out onto a mature garden and yard. Outside: a south-facing garden space, producing cherry and plum trees, a two-car garage, and two garden sheds for storage. The backyard is fully fenced. Meticulously maintained by long-term owners. Pet friendly (specifics discussed with applicants). Location: Easy walking distance to Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, the neighborhood market, library, local restaurants, and the bowling alley. A nearby bus line connects to Link light rail for an easy commute to Seattle, SeaTac, and beyond. Utilities and terms: Electricity is a flat $150/month up to 11,000 kWh annually, well above the Shoreline-area average use of about 9,000 kWh. Our last tenants used 9500kWh annually with an electric car. Only usage above the allowance is billed, and the all-in flat rate is less than what you'd pay SCL for a comparable all-electric home. The cap is mostly to protect us from bitcoin mining and the like. Sewer: $80/mo (pass-through, no markup) Tenant pays: water, trash, gas (hot water and stove), landscaping and yard care About us We're private, hands-on landlords, not a management company. We believe in long, positive relationships with our tenants, and as a rule we don't raise rent on existing tenants. This is our only rental; we're renting it out to maintain the option to move home some day, but we also believe it's our responsibility to provide stable long term housing as landlords. Note: the photos are a bit dated, we've updates the flooring in the kitchen and dining room, we've also update the half bath. Owner pays for electricity, heating/AC, sewer We use the Zillow screening service to screen prospective tenants. We prefer this option as it allows prospective tenants to pay Zillow once, but use the same screening report to apply for multiple listings. We're looking for tenants with a clean background check who can afford to rent from us.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
