Here's your chance to build an in-city escape minutes from downtown, but a world away! This site offers sweeping views of the Sound and Olympics; watch the boats go by, listen to the wildlife and enjoy amazing sunsets. You need to see it to believe just how peaceful it is. You also won’t believe you’re blocks from Discovery Park, a mile to Met Market, and so close to downtown. So will you rebuild the old cottage, take advantage of the seller’s work on a new 800 sf home, or start fresh? Keep in mind you have access limitations, will be working on a steep slope close to the shoreline and you’ll have height and size restrictions. This is the perfect site for a modest modern cabin, an in-city retreat, or a small Airbnb not a large estate.
