This is the most compelling lot you'll see in North Seattle — 27,542 sqft with panoramic Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain views, in a private enclave where houses rarely come to market. On the numbers it checks every Scenario A box: 4bd/2.5ba, 3,050 sqft, 2-car garage, and a fresh renovation with quality finishes throughout. The catch is structural: it's a 1965 ranch/rambler, meaning everything is on one floor. Your criteria explicitly requires bedrooms on the 2nd floor and calls compartmentalized ranch layouts a significant negative. That isn't a dealbreaker per the exclusion config, but it's a real lifestyle concern — no separation between kid spaces and adult spaces, no staircase buffer. If the lot and views make this a candidate, tour it to see how the single-floor layout actually feels; some ramblers live larger than expected. The $2,267,000 ask is $67K above the Scenario A ceiling but arguably defensible for a half-acre Sound-view property in 98177. Worth touring with eyes open on the layout question.
