Why they chose this property

We love Ballard for it proximity to Down town Seattle and all the great activities it offers. The new waterfront park added to Seattle Pike Place market with new aquarium addition is our favorite place to spend an afternoon sight seeing, eating great seafood and enjoying the water and mountain view. From there you can take a fun ride in the Seattle great wheel, walk to historic Pioneer Square or visit the Iconic Seattle Space needle.
Ballard itself offers access to Golden Gardens beach or Discovery Park for a fun local hike, both about a 10 minute drive from the home, perfect for watching our local wildlife and watching epic sunsets.
An easy 10 minute walk will lead you to the heart of Historic downtown Ballard filled with great restaurants, coffee shops, cocktail bars, shopping, ice cream shops, farmers market, local breweries and more. Enjoy a new movie release at the Majestic Bay theater or visit the Nordic Heritage Museum and learn about the history of this Scandinavian community. All within walking distance to the home, No car needed.

What makes this property unique

It's a 1906 original Ballard Farmhouse. Build solid and strong, every inch lovingly restored by us in 2021
We purchased this property because it is right new door to where we live. It was going to be purchased by developers and torn down and we wanted to preserve the history of this home. We spend 5 month lovingly remodeling every inch of the home and are so pleased to be able to offer it as a short term rental. We truly hope we did our part of preserving history for future generations to enjoy :)
