Bottom Line Assessment
Scenario C -- Renovation Upside. This is a 1904 two-story on a generous 8,100 sqft lot in the right zip (98107), right neighborhood (Sunset Hill, near Loyal Heights). Four bedrooms and 2,430 sqft clear the global minimums, but 2.0 baths and likely no garage are gaps needing renovation budget.
Strongest positives: The lot is exceptional for Ballard -- 8,100 sqft gives real outdoor space, ADU/DADU potential, and room for a garage addition. Two fireplaces, gas forced air, and a 2-story layout suggest workable bones. Sunset Hill has an A-grade crime rating and Salmonberry Green Grocer is literally a block away.
Biggest concerns: 120-year-old home means unknown renovation scope. List price couldn't be confirmed -- if above ~$1.4M, renovation math gets tight for Scenario C. Baths at 2.0 need upgrading. Garage likely needs to be added from scratch. Walk Score 55 means car/bike-dependent for most errands.
Verdict: Worth a closer look at the right price. Confirm list price on Zillow -- if in the $1.1-1.4M Scenario C range, tour it. If priced above $1.5M, the math gets tight. Liz sent this one proactively, which is worth noting.
