Historic Carriage House in Seattle Fetches 25% Over List Price in 2 Weeks

Abstract

As further proof the Seattle real estate market is red hot, this completely restored carriage house found a buyer within days-and the offer was 25% over the asking price. Listed on April 21 for $2,395,000 with Adam Weissman of Coldwell Banker Bain of Lake Union, the gorgeous four-bedroom brick home was sold on May 6 for $3 million. Built in 1913 in the Denny Blaine neighborhood, the carriage house was originally part of the historic Redelsheimer-Ostrander House. Serious cachet Split off from the larger estate in the early 1980s, the carriage house was overhauled and turned into a single-family gem. With a list price below $3 million, the home was considered affordable for the neighborhood. The 3,000-square-foot carriage house features what Weissman calls "a reverse floor plan." The bedrooms are on the lower level, and the living area is above. The sellers bought the home in March 2020 for $1.8 million, earning a 66% return on a two-year investment.
