Criteria Check

✅ Zip 98199 — Magnolia. In target zip list.

✅ Not on arterial — W Commodore Way is a residential waterfront street.

✅ Not Olympic Manor — lat 47.666 is below the 47.693 exclusion threshold.

✅ Property type — Single Family Residential. Active listing.

✅ Bedrooms — 5 beds (≥3 global min, ≥4 Scenario A). Strong.

✅ Bathrooms — 3.0 baths (≥2.5 for Scenario A). Passes. Note: with ADU split, verify how baths are distributed across units.

⚠️ Living area: 2,660 sqft — Passes global minimum (2,200 sqft) and is above the soft preference (2,200), but misses Scenario A threshold of 2,800 sqft by 140 sqft. This is the primary reason for Scenario B classification.

✅ Lot: 7,858 sqft — Well above 4,500 sqft minimum. Includes 48 ft of Puget Sound waterfront with tidelands. Exceptional.

✅ Garage — Yes, 2 parking spaces. Meets Scenario A requirement.

⚠️ Price: $2,389,000 — Above Scenario A expected range ($1.95M–$2.2M) by $189K–$439K. Waterfront premium. 89 DOM suggests market is not accepting this pricing.

⚠️ ADU split configuration — Listing describes an "Attached Dwelling Unit" that requires an interior stair addition to convert back to single-family. Layout and bedroom/bathroom distribution between units is unclear.

Bottom-Line Assessment

This is a genuine one-of-a-kind property: 48 feet of Puget Sound waterfront with tidelands in Magnolia's Lawton Park neighborhood, sitting between the Chittenden Locks and Discovery Park. Vaulted ceilings, panoramic water views, 5 bedrooms, a 2-car garage, and a large 7,858 sqft lot check nearly every box — except sqft (2,660 vs the 2,800 threshold) and price. At $2,389,000, the ask reflects a significant waterfront premium that puts it well above even Scenario A range, and 89 days on market signals the market isn't accepting it. The ADU split configuration (currently requires an interior stair addition to function as true single-family) adds layout uncertainty that only a tour can resolve.

Verdict: Worth a look if you're serious about waterfront — there's nothing else like this in the search. But at ask price, the sqft-to-dollar ratio is unfavorable. Monitor for a price reduction toward $2.0–2.1M before pursuing seriously; at that level the unique waterfront setting could justify a tour.
