Built in 2005, Salix is relatively dated compared to new-product finish levels, and is ripe for renovation of its unit interiors, common areas, and a marketing refresh. Leveraging its 9-foot ceilings, large windows, unique urban townhomes, and ‘micro-urban’ location, Salix will be re-positioned as premier product, nearly indistinguishable from new construction, in an excellent Kirkland area.”

The property has quick access to downtown Kirkland and is within the preferred Lake Washington School District with highly rated elementary, middle and high schools.
