About this property

The Villa Anita Apartments is a 19 unit apartment building located at 2231 Franklin Ave E in Seattle’s Eastlake neighborhood. Priced at $5,950,000, or $348 per square foot, the property delivers a 5.0% current cap rate with a path to a 6.3% cap rate at market rents and 7.3% cap on cost following a renovation program. The unit mix is 18 - 2BD/1BTH units and 1 - 1BD/1BTH unit, a two-bedroom heavy mix that is rare in Eastlake’s apartment stock and in constant demand, and 12 of the units look out over Lake Union. Built in 1977 on a 15,400 square foot lot zoned LR3 (M), the building offers two-bedroom units of 856 to 982 square feet and a 739 square foot one bedroom. Every unit has a dishwasher and a private concrete deck or patio. Thirteen kitchens have quartz or granite countertops, eleven have updated cabinets, and fourteen bathrooms have updated vanities. The property offers a common laundry room with owned machines, roughly 19 storage units, an elevator, and 20 parking stalls, six covered and fourteen open, in a neighborhood where parking is scarce. Building systems include copper plumbing, GE electrical panels, electric heat, double pane vinyl windows, a roof approximately 15 years old, and individual hot water tanks all replaced within the last four years.
