About this home

Known locally as the Blue House, this distinctive freestanding property occupies a highly visible corner at Warren Avenue N and Roy Street in the heart of Uptown/Lower Queen Anne. Used for commercial purposes for approximately 20 years, the 1,970 SF building offers an unusual opportunity for an owner-user, investor or buyer seeking a property with character and flexible potential. The main level features a welcoming entry and large, light-filled rooms adaptable for reception, meeting, retail, studio or workspace uses, while the upper level provides additional private rooms and a full bath. Original hardwood floors, substantial millwork, arched openings and a broad central staircase retain the character of the 1908 building. Two uncovered off-street parking spaces are located at the rear. Zoned SM-UP 65 (M), the property is situated within Seattle's Uptown mixed-use district, creating potential for a variety of commercial, residential or mixed-use concepts, subject to buyer verification and City approval. Across from Metropolitan Market and just blocks from Seattle Center, Climate Pledge Arena and the surrounding Uptown business district. Exterior painted approximately three years ago; roof and side sewer replaced within approximately the past five years. Sold as-is. Seller-procured pre-inspection available. Buyer to verify zoning, permitted uses, change-of-use requirements and development potential.
