Waterfront home sales in Seattle began with an affordable waterfront abode on Lake Union and a luxury waterfront estate on Lake Washington. ?With sales in Wallingford and Matthews Beach starting the year off, the outlook is rosy for a continuation of the strengthening market for Seattle waterfront homes that we?ve been seeing for the past few years.
The houseboat sold on Lake Union in January was actually a two-story housebarge, with views of the Seattle skyline from nearly anywhere onboard. ?Based in Gasworks Marina just east of the park, the 2 bed, 1 bath floating residence was on the market for two months before selling for $350,000. ?Listed at $369,000 originally, the 5% reduction in price was fairly minimal for this market.
In Matthews Beach on Lake Washington, a classic Seattle lakefront home with plenty of modern updates sold for $1.5 million after just one month on the market. ?Listed for $1.585 million, this was again a fairly strong purchase price for the sellers at a 5% discount.
This house is situated far off the street and has terraced grounds making their way down to the lake, ?The upper level has a swimming pool and viewing area, while the no-bank lot reaches a sandy beach at the lakeside. ?The home has 5 beds, 3.5 baths, and 3,240 square feet of living space. ?Built originally in 1937, it has been updated throughout but still retains some of its classic character.
