This apartment is in the Dexter Terrace, which is an 8 unit, contemporary design building situated on the side of the hill above Lake Union. It is in the lower Queen Anne/Westlake neighborhood, about 9 blocks north of the south end of the lake and less than 2 miles from the center of the downtown business district.
There are only two apartments on each floor of this building, so this is a corner unit with no shared walls except for a short section on one side of the living room. It is located on the second floor which is actually one flight below the Dexter Ave street level because of the way the building is situated on the side of the hill.
The unit is oriented toward the lake. There is a 100 foot green belt immediately outside the living room windows giving the apartment a relatively private feeling considering its in-city location. Beyond the green belt there are beautiful day and night views of Lake Union, Capitol Hill, and the Cascade Mountains.
The apartment is approximately 920 square feet. In addition to the two bedrooms and 1.5 baths, it has a large living room with lots of windows and natural light, a dining room, a view deck, and plenty of closets. Appliances include a dishwasher, and there are laundry facilities (only 50 cents!) on the same floor.
The address is 1738 Dexter Avenue North, which is about halfway between south Lake Union and Fremont. The apartment will be available November 15th, possibly before if necessary. A 6 or 9 month lease is required.
The rent is $2400 and the deposit is $650, $125 of which is nonrefundable. The rent includes water, sewer and garbage, but not electricity. There is a free storage locker and one free, reserved parking spot. Cats with good references accepted on a case by case basis. Sorry, no dogs. No Smoking. Renter's insurance is required.
The building is owner managed. Please call show contact info for additional information or to arrange a viewing. Telephone calls are much preferred over the Zillow "I'd like a tour" button. If you leave a voicemail, I can often return calls within an hour.
Note: The attached pictures of the furnished apartment are of a similar unit with the same floor plan and comparable finishes. The person who lived there at the time was a professional decorator. The curtains belonged to the tenant. The apartment comes with miniblinds. The unfurnished and view pictures are from theexact apartment to be rented.
