Description

Welcome to one of Capitol Hill's rare single-family home rentals a beautifully renovated 1904 classic adjacent to Volunteer Park, in one of the more residential pockets of the neighborhood.

This 3,370 sqft home blends the character of a century-old classic with a full 2024 renovation and modern smart home technology. New oak hardwood floors, beautiful millwork, and a warm, inviting layout paired with a kitchen, bathroom, and technology package that belongs in 2026.

THE KITCHEN was fully renovated in 2024 with high-end KitchenAid appliances, a smart oven, and a touchless smart faucet. Whether you're a home chef or just love a beautiful space, this kitchen delivers.

THE MASTER BATH is a full spa experience. A smart shower with five heads ceiling rain, side body jets, and handheld with digital controls to select which heads are active and dial in your preferred temperature. Philips Hue colored lighting syncs automatically with music through the built-in smart speaker the lights shift and pulse with whatever you're playing. Step onto heated floors, set your shower, and let the room do the rest. Plus an oversized soaking tub for when you want to slow things down.

Heated floors in all three bathrooms master, upstairs main, and lower-level suite. Smart speakers in both the master and upstairs bathrooms. Dual water heaters (tank and tankless) with a dedicated pressure booster mean you'll never run out of hot water, even with multiple showers running at once.

SMART HOME, FULLY LOADED. Schlage keyless entry, Nest thermostat, Philips Hue colored lighting throughout with dedicated ambiance zones in the master bath, dining room, kitchen, and living room. Set the mood for dinner, movie night, or just winding down. Ring cameras and doorbell transfer to your account you control your own security. The house responds to you.

THE LAUNDRY CHUTE. Not your grandmother's laundry chute. This automated system sends dirty laundry down from two locations in the house and brings clean laundry back up from the basement laundry room to the master bedroom closet. It's the feature you didn't know you needed.

THIRD FLOOR RETREAT. A fully finished attic with carpet, skylights, and views of downtown Seattle and the Olympic Mountains. Use it as a playroom, media room, home office, or yoga studio. Plus finished crawl-space storage along the eaves plenty of room for boxes, seasonal gear, and luggage out of sight.

PRIVATE LOWER-LEVEL SUITE. A complete daylight basement suite with its own exterior entrance, full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and full bathroom with heated floors. Perfect for extended family, a live-in nanny, long-term guests, or a dedicated work-from-home suite that feels truly separate from the rest of the house.

CLIMATE CONTROLLED YEAR-ROUND. Central AC throughout the home (rare in Seattle), plus a supplemental AC unit in the attic and additional heating in the basement. Comfortable in every season.

OUTDOOR LIVING. A large back deck for entertaining, a fenced backyard (great for kids and pets) with a treehouse, and a charming front yard with pergola and mature plantings. Disconnected garage for parking, bikes, or storage.

THE LOCATION. You're adjacent to Volunteer Park in one of the more residential stretches of Capitol Hill but still an 8-minute walk to the Capitol Hill Light Rail station and a short stroll to Broadway's restaurants, cafes, and shops. Neighborhood feel when you want it. Connected when you need it.

ALL PETS WELCOME. No breed or weight restrictions, no pet rent, no pet deposit. Just a one-time $250 cleaning fee. Your whole family furry members included belongs here.

MOVING IN LIGHT? The home is offered unfurnished, but select furniture pieces are available at no extra cost if you'd like them. Just let us know what works for your setup take what's helpful, skip what's not.
