5634 E Commerce Ave
A classic 1913 brick landmark in Spokane, the Parkwater Schoolhouse has been reimagined as a distinctive apartment building with room to grow. This two-story former school—once a brewery and later a beloved winery—now features four renovated residential apartments and a shared laundry room for tenants. Zoned GC-70, the property includes two large main-floor spaces with strong potential to be converted into up to four additional apartments. Situated on a prominent corner lot, the 8,832 sq ft building sits on over half an acre and offers 25 parking spaces. The full unfinished basement includes a conveyor belt and loading dock, offering further potential for storage, creative reuse, or development. Full of historic character and investment upside, the Parkwater Schoolhouse presents a rare opportunity to expand a residential income property in a truly one-of-a-kind setting.
A 1913 brick schoolhouse now holding four apartments, with room to add more
This former Parkwater schoolhouse spans 8,832 square feet on a corner lot of just over half an acre, which pencils out to roughly $76 per square foot. Four apartments are already renovated and share a laundry room. Two large main-floor spaces carry potential to become up to four more units, and the GC-70 zoning supports that kind of expansion. The practical details favor an income buyer: 25 parking spaces, natural gas and electric heat, and 2024 taxes near $5,136. The full unfinished basement, complete with a conveyor belt and loading dock, leaves room for storage or reuse. Note there is no dedicated garage, and the building dates to 1913.
