Description

Montlake neighborhood. Available only because of a sabbatical. Our home has the best of both worlds--we are in central Seattle but sit at a dead end against Interlaken park, a wooded green space with trails. We have a large, shaded backyard/garden with a deck and a 3-panel slider glass door for ind00r/outdoor living. Walk to UW, the Arboretum, Volunteer Park, and restaurants in Montlake and Capitol Hill. Easy access to bus stops, the light rail train, and the Burke Gilman bike trail. We are a short drive/bus to downtown, Lake Washington, and 520 (to get to the east side). Our home has large windows, skylights, 2 living spaces, 2 office options, and 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. 2 bedrooms are upstairs (one king in the master BR; bunkbeds in the 2nd BR). The two rooms share a 2-sink bathroom with a large shower. The third bedroom is on the first floor; full bathroom also on the first floor. Hardwoods throughout; modern appliances (and extra freezer in the basement). One special light filled small office upstairs. Second office space is a large finished room in the basement that currently serves as an office/home gym combo (rower included). Has a window looking onto the back yard. There is also a full bathroom in the basement. Negotiable use of bicycles and paddle boards.

Considerations

House Sitting

I may need help while I am away

I may need help with plants or garden

We would probably ask if someone is open to watering some plants to keep the garden looking lovely! Pretty minimal as it's mostly established.
