About the space
The space
This townhouse has it all: fantastic location (quiet, but central to everything!), modern kitchen, 3 full bathrooms (plus a powder room), queen sleeper sofa, washer/dryer, garage parking, and open concept living area. Guests even enjoy a view of Mt. Rainier!
Entering through the front door brings you to the main floor-through living area. This open concept space has a chef's kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. This flows directly to the dining area with seating for 6, plus 2 stools at the breakfast counter. The adjacent living area is furnished with a sleeper sofa, DVD, and cable TV. Enjoy a book or a game in front of the gas fireplace. This floor also features a powder room.
Two of your bedrooms are located one level above. One bedroom has a king bed, en suite full bathroom, and (on clear days) a view of the majestic Mt. Rainier. The front facing bedroom has a queen bed. It has its own dedicated full bathroom just outside the bedroom door. Also found on this floor is the full-size washer dryer.
The third bedroom is located on the level below the entry area. This is a small bedroom with big options. It is furnished with a twin-over-full bunk bed. This arrangement makes it perfect for two singles (or kids) to have their own bed, or for a couple to make use of the double bed. Despite being a compact space, this versatile bedroom has an en suite bathroom with shower.
Across from the third bedroom is a one car attached garage.

The neighborhood
This home is central to everything Capitol Hill and Madison Valley have to offer: great restaurants, parks, hiking, supermarkets (directly across the street!), day spas, and more.
We love walking the streets of this neighborhood, and we will gladly suggest fun walks depending on your interests. Stroll to the beach at Madison Park. Walk by multi-million dollar estates. Discover hidden neighborhood gems such as the farmhouse with horses in the yard and the home that doubles as an eclectic art studio and antique truck gallery. Take a walk through the fabled Arboretum to Lake Washington.
Once you have worked up your appetite, enjoy the countless restaurants that Madison Valley ("Little Paris") has to offer. In addition to French gems, try our favorite tapas restaurant or the best Japanese food east of Tokyo. Take your morning coffee in one of numerous bakeries. Or opt for Thai, pan-Asian, craft pizza, Tex-Mex or more.
Our home provides easy access to Downtown (Pikes Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, Seattle Great Wheel), Seattle Center (Space Needle, Chihuly Glass Museum), South Lake Union (MOHAI), University of Washington, and Capitol Hill. All are accessible by car, bus (numerous bus lines a few blocks from home), or for the adventurous, by foot.
If all of this touring (and eating) has you tired, pamper yourself with a visit to a day spa or nail salon. There are several of each within a few blocks of home, and we are happy to point you in the right direction.
