Ballard bargain

I look at properties of all shapes and sizes; sometimes one strikes me as a real gem. The latest is two adjacent properties in Ballard that a buyer could purchase for under $850k. The buyer would have a lot of over 10,000sf, an attractive 3 bdrm/1 bath bungalow for a main house, a 1 bdrm/1 bath guest house, a large shop and garage and a beautifully landscaped yard. A new construction home on a lot 1/2 the size will cost you the same, without being as good an investment. It's a great owner/occupant setup; I sure wish one of my clients needed a property of this sort!
