About 1609 E Alder Street

Two living spaces. Multiple income strategies. One unbeatable Seattle location. Here is house-hacking opportunity in the heart of the Central Area/First Hill. Live in one unit while renting the other to help offset your mortgage, space for multigenerational living, or rent both for added income potential. The spacious main-level residence offers 2 bed and 1 full bathroom, an open & light-filled floor plan, and beautifully refinished original hardwood floors. The updated kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a gas range. Upstairs, the bright 1 bed, 1 bath residence has its own kitchen, dining, in-unit washer/dryer combination, and an abundance of windows that fill the space with natural light. This property delivers something increasingly difficult to find in central Seattle: real outdoor space. The fully fenced grounds include an expansive front yard, backyard space, and a private side yard with a covered gazebo perfect for entertaining, gardening, pets, or simply relaxing outside. Fresh exterior paint, one dedicated parking space, and plentiful street parking complete the package. With a 98 Walk Score, this location puts Seattle U, Swedish Medical, Harborview, Seattle Central College, cafés, restaurants, groceries, and transit within easy reach. Whether you are searching for a home that can help pay for itself, a multigenerational setup, or a property rental potential, this is the flexibility you have been waiting for.
