3BR Modern, Bright Seattle Townhouse, 10m drive to Downtown/Ballard/Hospitals

This PNW-modern (aka chic but homey) townhouse makes an ideal home base for work & play. A beautiful sunken living room with 11-foot-tall ceilings and picture windows give the home a bright feel throughout. A lot of places cannot say they get this much light even in the longer nights of winter or during overcast skies. But you can, staying here, thanks to all the south-facing windows.

You'll find it easy to call it home. Built in 2009, there are 2 bedrooms (1 top floor; 1 garden level) and an office. The main/top floor BR has a king-size bed, while the garden-level apartment with full bath has a pullout daybed. The office has blowup mattress. TVs: living room, 55" Samsung Frame Smart TV; main BR, 40" Samsung Smart TV; garden floor, 24" Amazon Fire Smart TV.

Make yourself at home with kitchen & appliances, superclean
(and only 2-yr-old) carpet and gorgeous hardwood floors, a washer/dryer upstairs, and a convection oven, along with all the pots/pans/baking and cooking appliances you'll need to whip up the simplest or most complex of dishes. Situated on 3 floors. Heating but no AC.

Magnolia is a crescent land mass cradled by water; it's quaint neighborhood right below the popular Ballard, Fremont & University District neighborhoods and all the venues, restaurants, cafes, hospitals and shops they offer, while having a safe neighborhood feel all its own. Or pop down to the city in no time flat (~10 mins) by car, by multiple nearby bus lines (31 and 33 buses go straight downtown), or by bike (the Shipyard trail takes you right there, along the Puget Sound). Magnolia is also the landmass on which the famous Discovery Park sits—a gorgeous 534-acre urban woodlands that cannot(!) be beat. It's fantastic for hiking, trail running, strolling, clearing you mind, watching sunsets, seeing orcas, having picnics, and biking; and it's a a 4-min car ride or an 8-min mildly challenging bike ride just up Gilman Ave.

In this central location, you're getting all the convenience, safety, and quaintness of Magnolia. Walking in the area is super-safe (sans the stuff you read about in West Coast neighborhoods, even just one neighborhood away), and there is a friendly, active walking culture in the neighborhood. Parking is easy-peasy right in front of the house in angled street parking; 98% of the time you'll find a park right out front, and if it's a late night when you get in, you'll likely never have to park more than a block away.

The house is near the BNSF train railyard, so there are active railyard sounds occasionally. More rumbles than train horns, but it's passing.
