1111 18th Avenue Seattle, WA 98122

Beyond the English laurel and torii gate, this 5,500 SF Federal Avenue style colonial revival found new life under the meticulous care of its carpenter-owner as Laurel Gate—8 distinctive apartments. Relish 124-yr-old fir floors, balconies, exposed brick fireplaces, fanciful attic lofts and repurposed wood details throughout. Each home reveals a bespoke layout brimming with character to bring in top rent. A seismic retrofit, new plumbing and wiring, added insulation and upgrades at every turn beam with pride of ownership. From the lush front lawn and communal garden shed to the secure mailbox, shared laundry and alley parking, a sense of community and stewardship retains tenants. The 7200 SF lot with LR3 zoning offers development potential.
