A truly exceptional investment opportunity in one of Matthews Beach most desirable settings. This private, quiet parcel offers a rare combination of prime location, NR2 zoning, and remarkable development flexibility — making it one of the most compelling lots currently available. Surrounded by expansive open space with potential for sweeping territorial views, this property sits on a beautifully rare, tree-lined street that feels both serene and connected. It’s the perfect canvas to design and build a signature residence or capitalize on its versatile zoning potential. Enjoy an unmatched lifestyle just moments from the scenic Burke-Gilman Trail, Matthews Beach Park, Lake Washington, and Magnuson Park. Stroll to beloved neighborhood destinations including Magnuson Cafe & Brewery, Grand Central Bakery, Wedgwood Broiler, and Fiddler's Inn. Everyday essentials are equally convenient with nearby Metropolitan Market and PCC Community Markets. With easy access to public transportation and major freeways, this location offers seamless connectivity while maintaining a peaceful residential atmosphere. The property is sold as-is. The existing structure has already been prepared for removal, allowing you to move directly into the next phase of development. Opportunities like this — combining privacy, location, zoning flexibility, and lifestyle appeal — are exceptionally rare.
