The fifth of the five is both the largest, at 1,900 square feet; on the biggest lot, with more than a third of an acre; and the oldest, built in 1928. It also boasts a view of the Space Needle, the Great Wheel, and one of Boeing’s plants.
Inside are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a full-height unfinished basement. The listing includes few photos, but maybe the price—$335,000—is incentive enough for a tour.
