About this property
Enjoy all the comforts of home in a safe, wooded area of NE Seattle, close to UW
After sharing our ground floor apartment for 12 years as Premier Hosts, with over 200 five-star reviews (VRBO #341581, https://www.vrbo.com/341581?unitId=341581), we are ready to welcome you to our second place! This newly completed fully contained apartment in our family home in a quiet residential neighborhood is reached by a separate entrance one floor down from street level. This unit boasts a spacious open concept living/dining/kitchen area with all appliances. You’ll have full refrigerator, gas stove, dishwasher, microwave and a lovely gas fireplace. The kitchen is fully stocked with cooking utensils and dinnerware. You’ll enjoy a comfortable leather sofa with two recliners which provides perfect viewing spot for 75 inch smart TV. The table seats 4 guests with multiple other seating areas for your group. The room has a lovely outlook to the wooded garden with a view of the Burke-Gilman trail with outdoor access to the full length deck through sliding doors. On the deck you can enjoy the view or grill on the large handy gas grill. Garden, patio and fire pit use by arrangement.
The view bedroom sports a king size bed, nightstands with charging ports and an accent chair as well as television and large closet with built-ins.
The second bedroom has a queen size bed, a full closet and a television.
All rooms have easy access to the full bath with a deep soaking tub, shower and plenty of storage. Heated floor!
Your laundry room has a large capacity washer and dryer as well as an additional sink.
You will find your apartment well-stocked and maintained by the owner who lives upstairs and is always accessible. Ample street parking is available.
You will be one to two miles from the University of Washington campus, the vibrant University Village shopping center, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Magnuson Park on tranquil Lake Washington. Easy access to bus transportation and University of Washington Station. Light rail will allow you to avoid parking by whisking you swiftly downtown, to Northgate (Seattle Kraken complex) or to Sodo for Seattle Mariners, Seattle Sounders or Seattle Seahawks games. Light rail travel to or from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport takes 42 minutes with a short bus or rideshare trip from the station to your home away from home.
If you prefer to walk or bike, you can easily access the Burke Gilman trail to enjoy 27 miles of varied outlooks from the shores of Lake Washington to the UW campus to Lake Union and the thriving community of Ballard.
Several playgrounds are within a mile or two to delight the little ones. They will also enjoy the Seattle Children’s Museum at Seattle Center, where they will also find the Pacific Science Center. The Seattle Aquarium on the waterfront is a popular destination, near the Great Wheel Ferris wheel. Other nearby museums include Seattle Asian Art Museum in Volunteer Park, Museum of History and Industry on Lake Union and Seattle Art Museum downtown near the bustling Pike Place Market. Of course, you won’t want to miss the iconic Seattle Space Needle with its rotating glass floor for 360 degree views of the city and Puget Sound. Just at its base is one of our personal favorite, Chihuly Garden and Glass, showcasing the famed local glassblower’s amazing work. Of course, you can make a day trip to famed Mount Rainier or the Olympic National Park and points beyond. Hiking, biking, kayaking and more are right at your fingertips. If you look forward to staying in and enjoying your own company, you will find all the comforts of home right here!

About the host
Hosted by Ron
As your host, Ron, I have decades of experience in hospitality, as the owner of one of Seattle's most beloved restaurants. I expanded into home renovation during 2010 as general contractor as my wife and I brought our 1967 home into the 21st century. We updated every inch of the home and are comfortable on the first floor of this comfortable three story home. We especially love the location, the feeling of being in the forest as we gaze out on the wooded garden and watch the birds.
Why they chose this property
We have lived in Northeast Seattle for years, but especially enjoy this home for its tranquil setting combined with easy access to everything we love. We can be in the Cascade or Olympic Mountains, on Puget Sound, or the San Juan Islands in no time. Our community is diverse, urban, literate and comfortable.
What makes this property unique
We adopted the Pacific Northwest as our home many years ago, have raised our children here, and are delighted to share our community with visitors. We trust you will leave Seattle as smitten as we are!
