About this House

We are renting the entire upper floor apartment of our 1916 home -- amazing light, lovely location with territorial view over Miller Park, and a modern design with high end finishes. Enjoy the charm and uniqueness of living in a home (rather than a sterile apartment complex) without the commitment of home ownership!

We call our apartment the "jewel box" for its one-of-a-kind awesomeness. Fully renovated modern design includes an open floor plan with interesting vaulted ceilings, four big skylights, a sunroom that converts to an open-air room onto the deck, and a beautiful Japanese-style bath. Attention to detail and reclaimed, eco-friendly materials give this unit a unique "Pacific Northwest" feel.

We never intended this unit to be a rental -- we hope you love it as much as we do! We would not have moved out of the space if we had not outgrown it (we now have two small kids).

RENTAL FEATURES
* Open floor plan that connects the living/dining space with the kitchen
* Custom cabinetry made from old growth fir, salvaged from a local high school
* Modern, black Paperstone countertops (an Eco-friendly material locally made from recycled paper)
* High end stainless steel appliances: Miele wall oven, Dacor gas cooktop, Asko dishwasher, LG French door fridge
* Elegant bathroom with sunken Japanese soaker tub, shower, and natural black slate tile (salvaged from local high school chalk boards)
* Sunroom has built-in sunbed and a 7 ft long accordion-style window that creates an open-air room to the deck -- great for summer dinner parties!
* South facing private deck
* Lots of windows and four big skylights
* Radiant heat, plus a gas stove in the living room
* Original fir floors (restored/refinished since these pictures were taken...floors look AMAZING!)
* One bedroom has walk-in closet
* The other bedroom has custom built-in fir cabinets/closet in the wall
* Front-loading washer and dryer in unit
* Private entrance with natural pebble stone tile in entryway
* Modern sound proofing between upstairs and downstairs units
* Bike storage available on ground level, off driveway (inside: dry, locked, secure)
* Easy street parking (we never have trouble parking within a few car-lengths of the house)

COMMUNITY FEATURES
* Super walkable neighborhood -- an easy stroll to tons of great restaurants, cafes (including Macrina Bakery, Zeek's Pizza, Monsoon), bars, shops, and grocery stores (19th and 15th Avenues are within minutes)
* House looks out over Miller Park, and is within running/walking distance to the Arboretum, Volunteer Park, and Interlaken Park
* Great location for traveling by bus (close to routes 43, 8, 10, 11, 12, 48 ) or by car (easy access to 520, I-90, or I-5)
* Super convenient for commuting to downtown, South Lake Union or the east side

LEASE TERMS

* $2,700 per month, 1st month and deposit due at lease signing
* $2,700 deposit, fully refundable
* 12 month lease
* Utilities paid monthly by tenant
* No smoking

APPLICATION PROCESS
Due to the "stay at home" order for WA state, we are not doing in-person tours any longer, but the apartment is still available for a May 1st move-in date.Keep in mind our current tenants are still living in the space, so the apartment looks "lived in" on the video rather than staged.
Hope you're hanging in there,
Dara
