Not your average short-term rental!
This home is for the discerning guest who appreciates a curated environment. Every inch is considered and appointed with collectible Mid-Century furnishings and details. Comfort and style have equal priority; our goal is top-tier hospitality for a sophisticated 5-star guest experience.
Iconic architecture, professional interior design, and hotel hospitality create an elevated stay with high style and comfort, designed to delight and provide the perfect landing for vacations, relocations, short-term jobs, family visits, etc.
Highlights are the circular near-level floorplan, dedicated office, well-stocked kitchen, TV lounge, 5-star beds & premium linens, large private yard and patio with grill and dining furniture. The home is on a tree-lined street with amenities, cafes, parks and light rail station nearby.
There are two bedrooms as well as a dedicated office and a separate recessed TV room/lounge. The circular floorplan is dominated by vaulted ceilings and a wall of windows framing the large enclosed rear yard. Seamless indoor/outdoor flow invites al fresco patio dining on Seattle's warm summer evenings. Plentiful bird life can be enjoyed from your perch in front of floor-to-ceiling living room and dining room windows (binoculars provided!).
The king bedroom has a California king bed by Avocado, a heated mattress pad (divine on chilly nights!), dressers, lamps, charging cords, two closets, cotton robes and AC. The queen bedroom has a Keetsa memory foam mattress, heated mattress pad, individual reading lights, dresser and closet.
Both bedrooms are furnished with high-quality cotton bedding, pristine down pillows and duvets, and cozy wool or cotton blankets. Our approach to beds and bedding borders on zealous: All bedding—sheets and pillowcases as well as mattress covers, pillow covers, duvet covers, bedspreads and blankets— is laundered between every guest, using only unscented products.
A third bedroom is furnished as a fully functional office — a guest favorite! — with desk, monitor, charging cords/ports and color printer. (Please note that there is no bed in this room.) From the office, sliding glass doors provide a green outlook, and an instant indoor/outdoor connection to the patio and rear yard.
