Unique mid-century modern Pacific Northwest home with amazing sunset, mountain and ocean views in the quiet neighborhood of Sunset Hill in Ballard. They call it “Sunset Hill” because it has the best sunset views in Seattle! The full glass sunroom and office space that overlooks the quiet neighborhood has some of the best sunset views over the Olympic Mountains that you’ll ever see. Wake up to the cool ocean breeze off the Puget Sound and the sound of sea birds, harbor seals and tugboats in the distance while you watch the ships and sail boats pass by.
Just a 5-minute walk to the “Secret Beach” to relax and swim, or to Baker's, our favorite neighborhood cocktail & dinner spot, or to Molly’s Bottle Shop for natural wine tasting, or to Salmonberry for the best bread and baked goods in Seattle, or to Un Bien for the most amazing Carribean sandwich you’ll ever have!
Just a 15-minute walk through the beautiful flora and "old Seattle" neighborhood homes to Sunset Hill Park for a picnic and stunning views, or to historic downtown Ballard for shopping, bars and restaurants and its famous farmer's market on Sundays, or to the hidden gems Sunny Hill Restaurant for pizza and Cafe Fiore for coffee. Not to mention, the unbelievable Golden Garden's Beach that’s also walkable!
The house itself was built in 1963 by the former owners and has a vintage, mid-century vibe and aesthetic with two wood fireplaces. The home is older but well-appointed with intentionally-sourced vintage mid-century furnishings. This is not your typical "modern" short-term rental so please note that before booking. As an example, there is no dishwasher so you'll need to slow down and wash dishes by hand the old fashioned way!
Please note that there's a separate guesthouse in the backyard so you may run into your new neighbors from time to time. But the entire beautiful backyard sanctuary, including the outdoor fire pit, sunny patio and garden, is all yours!
Since this is a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, please be sure to check all of our house rules to ensure that they align with your plans.
Heads up that the backyard fence is being remodeled and, although it's almost finished, there's a little work left that will be done by the end of May.
