About this property
Seattle/Ballard Modern 2 bedroom home, close to all Seattle tourist attractions!
Welcome to your perfect vacation getaway!
This light filled home with large fenced back yard is located on a quiet residential street with historic single-family homes, yet close to all the fun vacation spots you’ll want to explore.
Enjoy all Ballard has to offer right out the front door; you'll be minutes away from well-known Seattle restaurants and bars, boutique shopping and breweries. Guests rave about the location, décor, spaciousness, comfort of this well appointed home.
Experience the thoughtful design and décor and let the modern comforts of this well-reviewed, 1000 sq foot historic gem, serve as your next vacation home base for your Seattle-area stay.
Our spacious updated historic home is perfect for families or small groups, comfortably accommodating 4 adults and 2 kids.
You’ll appreciate the 43" smart TV and high-speed 600 Mbps internet to keep you connected to all your favorite shows.
The well appointed kitchen invites you to whip up a gourmet meal or enjoy a delicious takeout from all the nearby eateries.
Refresh and rejuvenate in the homes updated bathroom with bath/shower combo and all bathroom essentials, including towels, toiletries, hair dryer and flat iron.
**Please note ~ bathroom is on the main floor, bedrooms are upstairs.
UP a flight of carpeted stairs with sturdy handrail, you find 2 bedrooms—a spacious primary with King size bed and walk-in closet and second bedroom with queen size bed—ideal for sleeping 4 adults.
Additional loft space between the 2 bedrooms can accommodate 2 kids or 1 young adult on a full size futon, as well as a desk/desk chair and 20" computer monitor screen w/ cable.
Bedrooms have high-end, medium-firm pillow-top mattresses, a selection of down and memory foam sleeping pillows, and extra blankets to ensure you have a restful nights sleep. Air conditioning in the bedrooms and fans throughout will keep you nice and cool in summer.
Powerful quiet baseboard heaters keep you toasty in fall and winter.
In the dining room cabinet you'll find a great assortment of games, books, puzzles, playing cards and more to keep everyone entertained.
We’ve made the space baby and child-friendly as well, complete with a high chair, pack-n-play, plug covers, baby gates, toys, books, puzzles, and kids’ plates, bowls, and utensils.
Need to freshen up your clothes? We’ve got you covered with a front-load washer and dryer, an iron, ironing board in the separate laundry for your convenience.
Step outside to enjoy the spacious, fenced backyard and patio in spring, summer and fall. Enjoy the abundance of trees with lots of apples, plums and blackberries during their growing season. The lilac tree smell amazing in spring.
It’s the perfect spot for BBQ-ing some burgers or steaks, al fresco dining at the outdoor table with umbrella, or just lounging in the Adirondack chairs or sun lounger.
Your dog will enjoy the large grassy area to romp around on as well.
We provide umbrellas, grocery bags, dog accessories, dog blankets (please note we don’t accept cats or other animals due to allergies)
To keep everything pleasant and clean, we ask that you please refrain from smoking, vaping, or using marijuana and other drugs in the home or yard.
Parks and playgrounds are just a few blocks away, with public transportation also within a 3-block walk in any direction.
Street parking is available right in front of the house.
***If you’re planning a bigger gathering, check out the apartment next door, named : Great walkability + Close to Seattle Attractions" in Ballard (sleeps 4). Both properties can be booked together for larger groups.
Flexible check in and check out can be provided so please reach out if you have any special requirements.

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 once 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 2022.
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 it 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 generation to enjoy :)
