For Investors-Prime Location 4-6 Unit Covered Land Play (LR1 Corner Lot) – 4802 This property is a coveted approximately 6000 sq. ft. corner parcel zoned LR1 (M), situated 5 blocks from the Othello Light Rail Station. Because of its unique footprint, high elevation, and dual-street access, the site is perfectly positioned for a high-yield infill preservation strategy that completely bypasses the need for costly demolition. Unlike standard scrape-and-rebuild projects, this site features a newly updated, turnkey 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom primary home with premium modern interior finishes. Can easily be rented for 4,200+ per month while awaiting permits. A builder can preserve this house as an immediate luxury resale or a high-yield rental asset while utilizing the remaining sunny garden yard to construct four ( or 6) new vertical townhomes (approx. 1,200 sq. ft. each, featuring 16' × 25' footprints). Key Site Advantages for Your Pipeline: • Transit-Oriented Growth: 5 blocks to light rail, 16 minutes to SEA Airport, and effortless vehicular access to Downtown Seattle. • The View Premium: As the highest house on the hill, upper levels and rooftop decks of the 4 ( or 6) new infill units will capture sweeping territorial views, maximizing your retail exit price. ( a total of six units if you place 2 facing 48th and four facing Fontanelle.) • No Shared Driveways: The corner lot configuration allows all new units to front the side street independently, saving massive layout space and eliminating fire lane complications. • Clean Landscape: Flat, open terrain with no "Exceptional Tree" structural bottlenecks to delay your SDCI permitting process. We are looking for a clean, straightforward transaction with a qualified builder. *Interested buyers to verify all information*
