A rare mid-century home near Genesee Park
Homes like this do not come along often. 4021 46th Ave S has been in the same hands for 46 years, and it now arrives on the Seattle market with its original character intact and its next chapter wide open.
The setting is the story. You are 1.5 blocks from Lake Washington Boulevard, backed up to one of Seattle's great green spaces, and close to the water, the boathouse, and the shoreline views that make the south Seattle lakefront such a distinctive place to live.
Inside: original mid-century character
Hardwood floors, large picture windows, and two wood-burning fireplaces carry the home's original mid-century character from the main level to the lower level. The picture windows pull in daylight and the greenery outside, and the floor plan gives you a clear, honest starting point for whatever you have in mind.
The main level holds the living and dining areas, the kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and a bath. Whether you restore it faithfully, update it room by room, or reimagine it entirely, the bones of a mid-century Seattle home are here to work with.
The lower level: space for hobbies, a home office, or storage
The spacious lower-level family room features a second fireplace faced in mid-century stone, along with an additional nonconforming bedroom. Beyond that, the lower level offers flexible space for hobbies, a home office, or storage, and 620 sq. ft. of unfinished space leaves room to shape the home around the way you live.
Outside: a natural buffer to Genesee Park
Out back, a natural landscape buffer separates the private backyard from adjoining Genesee Park. You get a peaceful, wooded setting and the feel of the park right next door, without direct park views. An attached carport and RV parking on the street add everyday convenience.
Location: Lake Washington Boulevard, the boathouse, and Seattle's hydroplane pits
The property is just 1.5 blocks from Lake Washington Boulevard, a favorite Seattle route for walking, cycling, and lakeside drives. From there you are close to the boathouse and to the hydroplane pits that anchor Seattle's Seafair tradition. Genesee Park's open fields and trails are practically next door, so the outdoors is part of your daily routine.
Two ways to see 4021 46th Ave S: fix and flip, or live in it forever
Fix and flip. A 7,200 sq. ft. lot, a mid-century footprint, and a location beside Genesee Park and Lake Washington Boulevard give investors and builders a strong foundation to restore and reposition the home. Because it is sold as is, buyers should plan their own inspections and renovation scope.
