Private MIL Apartment in Serene Pacific Northwest Setting
About this listing
Be our guest in this secluded garden flat in a quiet neighborhood near Lake Washington, St. Edwards Park, Bastyr Univ, UW-Bothell & Cascadia CC. With its own entrance and tranquil setting, this getaway will refresh & restore. Close to shops, restaurants, grocery, library, bus line, beaches, water activities, mountains, parks. Near 522 with easy access to I-5 & I-405 to Seattle, Redmond, and Woodinville wineries. An hour from skiing and San Juan Islands. Great for couples, individuals & small families.
Space
Our welcoming and comfortable MIL apartment (the entire lower level of our single-family, multi-level home) is in a great neighborhood close to everything. The bedroom offers attractive bedding, quality mattress, plenty of pillows and blankets, and windows with views out to the garden of natural NW foliage and trees. French doors in the living room open out to a private back yard patio. Living room has a large sofa-bed couch for lounging and sleeping. Includes internet-access TV, computer, DVD movies, cards, games, and high-speed internet wi-fi.
Guest access
Private entrance with key code entry and interior deadbolt for extra security opens to large foyer, kitchen with granite counter tops, full bathroom with shower (no bathtub), living and dining areas, and laundry room (washer and dryer). Electric baseboard heating in each room. Private back yard patio through French doors is the perfect place to enjoy your hot coffee in the morning, or to finish off your day with a night cap in the evening. Use the high-speed internet wi-fi to stream your favorite internet-based shows; or get some work done if you're here on business.
Guest interaction
We are friendly people who respect guests' privacy. We are full-time professionals who make every effort to create a welcoming environment. If we can help you enjoy your stay in the area even more, we are happy to offer friendly guidance, information, and tips! We live in the floors above, but we leave guests to themselves, unless, of course, they might need something. A binder is available in the desk in the foyer with brochures, bus routes, and other information on activities in the area. We are available by text if you have questions!
Neighborhood overview
Be our guest and enjoy all that the Pacific Northwest has to offer! Our home is centrally located on the north end of Lake Washington, nestled in a quiet neighborhood on a cul-de-sac street. Only a few blocks away from downtown Kenmore, Burke-Gillman trail, Log Boom Park, and Metro bus line, including express bus to downtown Seattle. Only 3 miles from Bastyr University/St. Edwards Park, 4 miles from UW-Bothell and Cascadia Community College, and 7 miles from UW-Seattle. Centrally located and easy to get to Puget Sound, Woodinville wine country, downtown Bothell, Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, Edmonds, Everett, and surrounding areas like the Olympic Peninsula, Mount Baker National Forest, San Juan Islands, Skagit Valley, Snoqualmie Pass, Puget Sound, etc. Join us and see why we love living here so much!
Getting around
Close to 522 (Bothell Way) with easy access to interstates I-5 and I-405, major bus routes (which can take you to Light Rail or ferry terminals at Seattle or Edmonds), and Kenmore airport (i.e., sea planes).
Other things to note
Kitchen includes cooking necessities, coffee maker, toaster; coffee, tea; pantry contains some dry goods. General household items like dish soap, laundry detergent, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, etc. are available. Kindly replace what you use. If there's anything else you might need to cook, relax, or feel right at home, please just let us know! Parking is available on the street.
Please note that our property may not be appropriate for those with physical disabilities and/or difficulty with stairs, as the private entrance is accessed down a long flight of stairs alongside the house (see pictures). You'll need to carry your own luggage down from the street, although if we're here when you arrive, we'll gladly help!
