About this property
Ballard Locks & Market St | Fire Pit Courtyard · Chef's Kitchen | Designer Loft
Ballard Loft is one of Ballard's most stylish new builds — a custom-designed 2BR home where exposed wood beams, engineered hardwood floors, and walls of natural light create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and genuinely livable.
The chef's kitchen is a genuine highlight: gas range, quartz counters, custom shaker cabinetry, stainless appliances, and a kitchen island — perfect for morning coffee or a full dinner spread. Step through the French doors into your private courtyard, where Adirondack chairs, wraparound bench seating, overhead string lights, and a direct gas fire pit create the ideal setting for easy Seattle evenings. Fully enclosed, fully quiet — the kind of outdoor space you'll use every night of your stay.
Upstairs, two bedrooms each have comfortable queen beds and quality linens. The bathroom has vaulted ceilings, heated tile floors, and a custom tiled rain shower with rain head and handheld. A powder room on the main floor adds convenience for groups. Full size washer and dryer on-site.
A dedicated workspace keeps remote workers sorted, and two mini-split heads mean the temperature is exactly where you want it year-round. Free tandem driveway parking for two cars — a genuine rarity in Ballard.
Location is unbeatable. Market Street’s best dining, coffee, and boutique shopping is a 15–20 minute walk. The Ballard Locks are nearby. Golden Gardens Beach a short drive for sunsets over the Olympic Mountains. Less than 5 miles to downtown Seattle.

Our stay at the Cottage was awesome! Codi was very responsive and gave great suggestions for the area. The Cottage is very comfortable, and was a nice home base for our stay. Thanks again Codi….we’ll be back!Chuck
Excellent property in great condition. Great location with easy walking to downtown Ballard, yet quiet and peaceful at the property. Basically everything feels brand new. Easy communication with the owners, everything as advertised. Will stay again.
As advertised! Great little loft; well equipped with all the necessary amenities. Newly renovated. Walking distance to all the shops and restaurants in Ballard!
Lived in Seattle for years. Ballard is a good neighborhood: feels safe, good restaurants (some within a block or two), interesting local sights on the water - all walkable - if a few hills and a mile or maybe more is in your range. Pike Market is a fairly easy drive away.
This is a clean, comfortable, almost new home with off street parking, upscale kitchen and comfortable bed.
