Map & Owner's Profile
Alki Beach Area, Luxury Home, Views of Downtown, Elliott Bay
Year Purchased: 1989
Why the Owner Chose West Seattle
We never get tired of the wonderful water views of West Seattle. The sparkling night light seen across the water in the evening is unsurpassed in beauty.
Because we are 7 minutes from downtown and minutes from all major highways, West Seattle is a great convenient place for your base stay. Why pay $35 a night to park downtown when you can look at downtown across the water yet be there in minutes!
The Unique Benefits at this House
Have your coffee on one of the three decks, watch an eagle fly overhead, hear a sea lion bark, watch the cruise ships crossing by, and plan your day’s events.
How about walking down the lane to below the home and catching the walk on ferry and go over Elliott Bay and dock downtown all for $3. Shop at world famous Pike Street Market over 100 years old, visit the Aquarium, Sam Art Museum, or hop on a tour of the underground Seattle. When you come back just in time for happy hour at famous Salty's on Alki right by where you dock. What a hard day you say. Rent a Kayak, roller blade, take a dive lesson, or take of fishing with a group on Alki Beach. We are here to guide you to great restaurants and great items of interest during your stay.
Owner's Map of West Seattle
Doug and I have been married for 33 years. Doug was born in West Seattle, I in Denver. We met in Nashville TN. We came for a vacation and that was it, I had to move here.
I truly believe Seattle is one of the most beautiful areas in the world. And, West Seattle surrounded by water, and views of the mountains, what can I say.
My background in interior design for 18 years, allowed me to refurbish and remodel this 1911 Craftsman home with true integrity, yet elegance. We now live across the street in a smaller home and have made this the "Vacation Home", and have met delightful people who have loved the home as we did. Come visit us, and maybe you will have to move here too! If you do, we will take care of that too, as we are Prudential Real Estate Agents (12 years) Yes, can you believe we work together live together and are still married. Negotiating specialist!
We look forward to meeting you for your next vacation!
