Great stay. Such a cute/unique place and with everything you need. Plenty of space especially compared to other options in the area. Host was available and it was easy to access along the D-line since we were using public transit.

We loved our stay! Location is great with lots of walkability and easy access via car or public transit to downtown. Communication with Alice was easy and she was so welcoming. Having a driveway parking spot is a huge bonus. The unit is a great size and was perfect for my husband, my toddler and myself for the weekend. We hope to be back in the future.

Great trip! Perfect for what we needed

We came into town to visit my sister and her family. We booked this as a place to rest our heads. Alice was very communicative when it came to our plans and getting us set up. It was myself, husband and two kids (7&9). The place was perfect for what we needed. My sister now knows to recommend Alice’s home when she has visitors in town. Thank you!

Great stay, location, place

We had a great experience staying at the Ballard Tudor. The owner let us check in early which saved a headache. The location of the property was perfect, right in the middle of Ballard, walking distance to just about anywhere in Ballard. The apartment was exactly as advertised, it was a decent sized, cute, well appointed, clean one bedroom apartment with off street parking. We couldn't recommend the place more.

Great couple of days in Ballard

Alice was wonderful and attentive and the basement was good for two. It was very big, quiet, and fairly comfortable - nothing too fancy but served our purposes well. The neighborhood is nice and accessible.

About the host

Hosted by Alice Woldt

Host profile image
I'm a retired non-profit executive. I love my roses and having people enjoy my home. I've lived in Ballard since 1975 and seen it change from a quiet Scandinavian neighborhood to a trendy hangout for young professionals with lots of local coffee shops, restaurants, bars and breweries. It still reflects some of its Nordic Heritage with the nearby fishing fleet, a few shops and National Nordic museum.
My roots are in corn country in the Midwest, so my interest in gardening comes naturally. I have a concrete lamb on the front porch and a straw pig planter on the back deck just to remind me of the farm
I am active in politics and you will often see a political sign in my yard and or window.

Why they chose this property

My son attended preschool nearby and everyday I would pass this house and thought how wonderful it would be to own this brick Tudor. We already enjoyed living in the area and we were outgrowing our little 2 bedroom bungalow. When I saw the sign For Sale By Owner, we jumped at the chance to buy it. I have never been sorry.
The previous owner had a large pool table in what is now the downstairs bedroom. My son lived downstairs while attending college and I've rented it off and on to friends. A water problem in 2015 damaged drywall and furnishings. I've done extensive remodeling - creating a secure entrance, upgrading the bathroom, lighting and appliances and installing new flooring throughout.
I love that the property is in Ballard on a fairly quiet street with well-maintained single-family homes, but close to public transportation and all the amenities Ballard and Seattle have to offer - Woodland Park Zoo, the beach, restaurants with great seafood, Greenlake, the waterfront, the locks with the salmon ladder, Pike Place Market, breweries within a mile, and world-class museums. These are a few of my favorite things, but you can discover many more.

What makes this property unique

I was particularly attracted to the brick Tudor architecture of the house. The brick wall and steps and sidewalk leading up to the porch and front door set it off from the other houses on the block. The original fireplace in the living room and row of leaded glass windows in the dining room are distinctive. At one time it was the parsonage for the church property next door. In addition to the property being well-maintained, I appreciate the more expansive lawn area on the side yard. It has a longer paved driveway that accommodates safe, off street parking for guests' vehicles - a distinct advantage in a busy neighborhood within parking range of Ballard high school.with its many student drivers.
