Own in central Seattle and let the second unit help offset the cost of ownership. This vacant Central Area duplex offers two 2-bedroom, 1-bath units, each with its own kitchen, in-unit laundry and lockable entry; the upper unit adds a small bonus room with walk-in closet. Live in one and rent the other. For multigenerational living, it offers that hard-to-find balance: close enough to be together, with enough separation for privacy. Or use the second unit for a long-term or furnished mid-term rental strategy. One block north of 23rd & Cherry, transit is close at hand, with Seattle University, Seattle Central College, nearby medical centers and the 23rd & Union hub all within easy reach. That close-in location works twice: it makes everyday life easier for an owner and puts the second unit near the places many renters need to be. Walk Score 90 and Bike Score 98 underscore the convenience. Just inside the shared front entry, a classic wood staircase leads to the upper unit, with front- and east-facing windows bringing natural light along the way. A shared covered front porch and fully fenced backyard add useful outdoor space, while the 1906 exterior brings classic Seattle street presence. Longstanding rental use and vacant delivery give the next owner room to shape the property around their own living and rental plans. In a neighborhood where daily needs, local favorites and major destinations are close by, this is a flexible way to put down roots in the heart of the city.
