About this property

Victorian retreat on main floor of 1890s house in historic Ballard

This delightful retreat is located on the main floor of a turn-of-the-last-century house in historic Ballard. It is a complete, fully functional home with a fully equipped kitchen. Nothing is shared with the upper unit except laundry facilities in the shared entry. Acoustic insulation insures that you will hear little if anything from your upstairs neighbor.

Ballard has everything you could want. Living in this home, it's all at your doorstep! Within 1 block you can enjoy espresso and some of the best bread in Seattle. Within a 6 block radius you can enjoy an upscale movie house, a diverse array of restaurants, large QFC grocery store, shops and the fabulous year-round Sunday Farmer’s Market offering fresh locally grown produce and products. If your visit is job-related, you will also have access to a post office, FedEx, and built-green public library.

A detailed renovation was completed in 2008, in keeping with the home's original character. Wide plank oak floors extend throughout, including the new kitchen. The kitchen is cook-friendly. Guests can chat with the chef while sitting at the breakfast table. The main dining room can seat six and there is still room for a sofa. Barn doors separate the dining room from the very spacious living room. It can be closed off for privacy and has two queen sized high end, no-bar hide-a-beds and a 26 inch flat screen TV. There is another queen sized sleigh bed in the private bedroom with lots of drawer space and ample storage.

The acoustic insulation is amazing! This home is very peaceful and quiet. Planning to work from here? There is high-speed optic fiber internet dedicated to this apartment.

Another great stay!
This is-I think-my fourth stay here. I love it! The bed is comfy. It’s nice and warm when Seattle is cold and damp, and it’s a quick walk to Starbucks, shops, restaurants, and most important, my baby granddaughters! Happy New Year and I’ll be back in April.

Excellent once again
Considering I have another stay booked here for next month, I obviously love the place. It’s convenient to my baby granddaughters, it’s cozy with a comfy bed, and the owners are wonderful to deal with. See you soon little yellow house!

A Ballard gem!
The place was perfect for our stay in Ballard. The place had everything we needed and more. The owners were very helpful and super friendly. The garden around the house was lovely and the roses were even in bloom. Its truly a gem.

Back again!
My second visit! Just as wonderful and now the flowers are in bloom! The garden is lovely and thanks for the note on the door to remind me how to lick it when I left. Can’t wait for my next visit in October.
