About 10235 62nd Ave S

3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home converted from a 1914 City of Seattle firehouse. Situated on a half acre with a very large fully fenced in back yard. Most recently renovated in 2017. Available partially furnished. 12-month lease Security deposit equal to one month's rent Tenant responsible for all utilities Pets welcome - $50/pet/month additional pet rent Built in 1914, this is the original Seattle Fire Department Station No. 33, designed by Daniel Riggs Huntington, Seattle's City Architect from 1912 to 1921. Huntington was responsible for some of the city's most beloved civic buildings, including the Lake Union Steam Plant, the Fremont Public Library, and over ten fire stations and libraries across Seattle. Firehouse No. 33 was designed in a modified Tudor style, intentionally crafted to blend into the residential character of the Lakeridge neighborhood near Rainier Beach — a rare and thoughtful approach to civic architecture at the time. Originally built to house a single horse-drawn fire engine, the building features unique period details: the hose-drying tower was sunk into the ground rather than built above the roofline (to preserve the residential feel), and the equipment bay floor was sloped to ease the horses' start when responding to alarms. The firehouse served the Seattle Fire Department for nearly 60 years. In 1924, the horse teams were retired and the station transitioned to a motorized engine company. The City of Seattle sold the building in 1973, and it was converted into a private residence. Just three years later, in 1976, the structure was officially designated a City of Seattle Historic Landmark — a recognition of its architectural and civic significance. Lovingly remodeled in 2017, the interior has been thoughtfully updated to offer modern comfort while preserving the one-of-a-kind character of this irreplaceable piece of Seattle firefighting history.
