About this property
Spacious 1-bedroom apartment, 10 minutes drive to Seattle Waterfront.
This 1 bedroom spacious mother-in-law apartment is conveniently and safely located under the main 2 floors of a gorgeous 1921 Craftsman home.
You’ll enter the apartment via a private entrance from the large patio. Step in using the convenient keyless entry and go down 6 wide steps with secure handrail and like many guests, be delightfully surprised to find a well-insulated, 900 sq ft spacious, all on 1 floor well appointed apartment.
It’s just a short walk to Historic Downtown Ballard, with superb coffee, shopping, music venues, restaurants, speak-easy cafes and bars (and the best Sunday Farmers Market in the city). The Ballard Locks or Golden Gardens, one of the Seattle's only sandy beaches in only a 5 minute car ride away if you want to catch a sunset or watch our local wildlife.
Once you’re settled in, relax in the living room on the comfortable seating arrangement. Watch your favorite shows, movies, and sports on the 43" Hisense Smart TV, with swivel extension bar so you can choose the optimal position. Access a multi-channel cable package, including national news stations and all local and basic-cable TV channels. You can also access streaming channels using your own logins.
Prep and cook your best culinary creations in the fully equipped kitchen with all the standard major appliances – refrigerator, stove/oven, microwave, and dishwasher. You’ll find plenty of prep space on the butcher-block countertops, along with all the cookware, bakeware, dishware, flatware, glassware, serving-ware, Cuisinart 10 cup coffee machine, French press, and utensils you need to prepare and serve your favorite meals. You’ll even find some unexpected foodie tools ¬– small Magic Bullet blender, wok, cake springform, muffin pan, salad spinner, ginger grater, and garlic press.
We always stock the kitchen with fresh ground coffee, selection of teas, small oatmeal packages, sugar, splenda, coffee milk, basic spices and olive oil.
Dine in bistro chairs in the charming dining area with table for 4. For quick snacks or hot beverages, enjoy the coffee nook for 2 in the kitchen.
Guests praise the comfort of the queen bed in the Primary Bedroom and its high-end, pillow-top mattress and organic cotton and linen bedding to snuggle into. Bedside tables and overhead sconce lights flank the bed, and the lamps’ extendable arms enable you to adjust them to the perfect position for reading.
Lull yourself to sleep watching the 32" LG Smart TV, accessing popular streaming channels using your own logins. There is plenty of storage for your belongings in the dresser and closet including a luggage rack.
For additional sleeping needs, you’ll love the foldout, queen-size sofa bed in the living room, offering an adjustable headboard for reading in bed or watching TV.
Should you have remote-work needs, you’ll find a workspace in the living room with desk chair and writing surface.
The private patio is the perfect spot to enjoy some fresh air and Seattle’s mild weather. Indulge in a hot or cold beverage as you admire the greenery or savor a meal or snack at the table for 2 with comfortable, rattan swivel chairs.
Refresh and rejuvenate in the apartment’s bathroom with large walk-in shower and all bathroom essentials, including towels, toiletries, hair dryer and flat iron.
Also for your convenience is a washer and dryer, available on request.
If you are travelling with your dog there are plenty of dog-friendly amenities too! Pamper your canine companion with a romp in the small, fenced-in side yard. Large dog park 10 minute drive.
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 apartment, 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.
