This warm, inviting home is a unique in-city retreat with comfortable furnishings and decks that feel like a private oasis, while just steps from bakeries, restaurants, and parks. In a quiet neighborhood, this custom-built, three-story residence is the perfect home away from home. Enter the main floor, boasting newly refinished hardwood floors, and enjoy the fully equipped kitchen with a large island with seating for four, and an open floor plan that includes the dining and family rooms. A cook’s paradise, find everything you need including Calphalon cookware, Belgian waffle maker, KitchenAid mixer, and a gas oven and range. Filled with light, the 10-foot ceilings continue into the dining room with a brand new solid wood table that seats eight. French doors open to a beautiful backyard patio with a gas grill, festive lighting, and comfortable seating, surrounded by a charming garden and the gentle sound of a trickling fountain. This fully fenced space feels like a secluded hideaway. The living room also has French doors that open to a front deck with an umbrella table and chairs. A bright powder room is also on the main floor for your convenience.
The top floor includes a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a large closet, and a full bathroom. French doors lead to a deck that overlooks Ballard with peek-a-boo views of the Puget Sound and spectacular sunsets over the Olympic Mountains. Enjoy your coffee in the morning on the cedar table and chairs or stay out after the sunset, using the overhead heater while you stargaze with the Orion telescope. Just outside the primary suite is a laundry room with a washer/dryer and iron. Down the hall is a newly remodeled full bath with a rainfall adjustable shower head. Two bedrooms there have vaulted ceilings and new carpet - one with a queen bed and the other with two twins.
The media/entertainment room is located on the ground floor and furnished with a new oversized couch and ottoman, internet-enabled TV with surround sound, and DVD player and movie library. Yoga mats and hand weights invite you to include a little exercise during your vacation. There is also the fourth bedroom, with a queen bed, and a nearby half-bath on this floor. The hallway bookshelves offer books, puzzles, and games for you to enjoy. Save your dates now and get a head start on your next Seattle getaway!
