Yesterday’s most-clicked property is a landscaped house in Ballard that just hit the market 3 days ago. Looking at the pictures on this blustery cold morning, I was struck by the presence of pampas grass in the front yard. For some reason, that stuff always reminds me of sunny trips to Disney World as a kid. Seeing it in the wintery north always seems a little like finding out that the driver of the Porsche that roared past you on I-5 is a little old lady with blue hair.
The house is definitely worth taking a look at. It is one of those rarities you seldom see: A nice looking house for less than $500,000 in Ballard. This one is in a good location halfway between Fremont and Ballard, not far from Hale’s Ales. It has 3 bedrooms, 1.75 bathrooms in 1,560 square feet. I really liked the kitchen and the built-in bookshelves.
It’s on the market for $487,000, which is slightly above the home’s Zestimate of $450,744 but, at $312/square foot, slightly cheaper than the homes in the surrounding neighborhood.
