It's only a couple blocks from Lake Washington, it's on a fairly good size lot for Seattle, and it's in a quiet neighborhood. The land itself is worth more than that, and that's what you're buying.

My brother has a much nicer one in the DC area. They added on a large family room - but they know that it will just be torn down when they sell it, because all of the value is in the land.
