Timeless character, a private setting, and exceptional potential come together at 831 NW 52nd St. Set back from the street, this cedar-shingled Ballard cottage offers a welcoming retreat with a deep backyard ready to be reimagined for gardening, entertaining, or quiet outdoor living. Original hardwood floors, built-in shelving, period lighting, and vintage architectural details preserve the home's authentic charm. Updated plumbing and electrical, including an electrical panel replaced in the early 2000s, provide a starting point for your next chapter. The efficient floor plan lends itself to a thoughtful renovation that blends classic character with modern comfort. For investors or buyers looking to build equity, this is an opportunity to bring fresh vision to an established Seattle neighborhood. Sold as-is, with pre-offer inspections welcomed. Cash, hard money, and other renovation financing may be suitable, subject to property and buyer eligibility. Ideally located between Ballard and Fremont, with convenient access to Downtown Seattle, South Lake Union, and major commuter routes. Nearby Ballard Avenue, the Sunday Farmers Market, parks, breweries, cafés, and restaurants offer plenty to explore. Planned Ballard Link light rail adds to the area's long-term appeal. School assignments include West Woodland Elementary, Hamilton International Middle, and Ballard High School; buyers to verify current boundaries and info to their satisfaction.
