About this property

Amazing and serene view house, art deco charmer, fully restored

Casa Florence is a beautiful 1936 house located on a serene bluff with expansive westward ocean and island views.

Named after Ms. Florence, who lived in the house over 60 year, and at 102 years old decided to move into a smaller place.

The house sits far back from the street on a view bluff. There is ample street parking. 20 wide and gradual stairs through the park-like front yard bring you to this amazing setting.

The main floor has a large living room with enormous picture windows to the view. A beautiful dining room also allows access to the 150 sq ft entertaining deck. The fully appointed kitchen has all the dishes and equipment necessary to cook the meal of your dreams, or to spread out a take-out feast.

The grand staircase leads up the large master bedroom with seating area and view windows. The 2nd bedroom is also upstairs, its flexible configuration has two twin beds which convert to full sized beds. This is also a view bedroom. The spa-like bathroom is also upstairs. It includes a large deep vintage tub for soaking and a separate shower.

The house is a westward facing bluff. Set far back from the street, with city forest land below it, the location is serene. Casa Florence offers stunning 180 degree ocean views of the Puget Sound and its silently gliding ferry boats and ship traffic, islands across the water and the Olympic Mountains.

And the sunsets! The house faces west and golden sunlight fills the house every afternoon and evening. Each day has its own special sunset.

Privacy - nearly all windows face the view, giving guests excellent privacy and opportunity to enjoy the view at the same time.

Sorry, no dogs. No emotional support animals either. Only service animals that have been extensively trained to perform specific tasks.

Close Enough - But Quiet Enough

great little location in West Seattle. Within striking distance of downtown Seattle (via water taxi) and within walking distance of West Seattle eateries, etc, but far enough away to avoid all the noise of night life. Recommend it highly and will stay here again when in the area.

Good stay, accurate listing

We've stayed in many older homes and this was one of the better ones as it was well heated. The trampoline was a nice touch and the kids loved that. I did think the home was closer to the ocean (15-20min walk), so clarifying that would be nice, but otherwise a good stay.

Wonderful house, hosts, and location

We stayed for a long weekend with our two elementary age kids, and it was wonderful. Spent the days out exploring, and came home in the evening to a calm, comfortable house with a killer view. The hosts were very accommodating when we needed help after checking out, and the house had everything we could have needed. The area is wonderful and easily accessible.

Girlfriends weekend getaway

Had such an amazing time. The house is perfectly located in a quiet neighborhood and gorgeous view of the bay. We spent 90% of our time on the deck. We even got to see the Northern Lights. I would come back in a heartbeat. One of my best experiences yet.
