Preference Signals

⚠️ Tudor style — compartmentalized layout (small rooms, formal dining, enclosed kitchen) is explicitly called out as a "significant negative" in strongest preferences.
⚠️ Only 2 baths — below 2.5 strongly-preferred minimum. Renovation would need to add at least a half bath.
✓ 5,000 sqft lot with mature landscaping, patios, fruit trees, and stone water fountain — strong private-yard signal.
✓ 2-story with bedrooms presumably upstairs — meets multi-story layout requirement.
ℹ️ 1-car underground garage present — meets minimum garage preference.
ℹ️ No feedback history for this property.

Bottom Line

Scenario C renovation candidate at $1.25M with a significant Tudor layout concern. The lot is great (5,000 sqft, mature landscaping, private backyard oasis), the location in Ballard/Crown Hill is on-target, and the price is right for a renovation play. However, Tudor floor plans are notoriously compartmentalized — small rooms, enclosed kitchens, formal dining rooms — which is the exact layout pattern flagged as a strong negative in the criteria. Opening up a 1931 Tudor to achieve the desired open main floor (cook-and-watch-kids) would likely require structural work (removing bearing walls, adding beams). With only 3 beds and 2 baths, you'd also need to add a bathroom and potentially a bedroom to get to Scenario A specs post-renovation. Worth a drive-by to assess the exterior condition and renovation feasibility, but temper expectations on the floor plan.
