# Phinney Ridge 1BR That Lives Like a Little House | Olympic Views, 2 Parking Spots & In-Unit Laundry
**Available November 1, 2026 | $2,285/month | Pets Welcome | Parking & Storage Included**
Looking for a one-bedroom that feels a little more like a home than an apartment? This one is special.
Tucked into a quiet, three-unit building in Phinney Ridge, this bright second-floor home has its own private side entrance, a spacious balcony overlooking the Olympic Mountains, **two dedicated parking spots (one covered), and your own washer and dryer.** No shared laundry room. No circling the block for parking. Just a comfortable home with a few extras that are hard to find in a one-bedroom.
A home with room to breathe
**Your own private balcony with Olympic Mountain views.** The living room opens onto a large private balcony with beautiful views of the Olympics. On a clear evening, it's the perfect spot to unwind after work, enjoy your morning coffee, or simply take in the view.
**Parking that makes life easier.** Two dedicated carport parking spots are included, one covered. If you know Phinney Ridge, you know how valuable that is.
**Your own entrance and in-unit laundry.** A private side entrance adds to the feel of having your own little home, while the in-unit washer and dryer make laundry day easy.
**Bright, open interiors.** The home features hardwood floors, a renovated bathroom, a dishwasher, a proper pantry, and closets with plenty of room for your belongings. The entire unit will be freshly painted before move-in.
**Outdoor space and extra storage.** Enjoy a spacious, locked storage room in the carport. There's room for bikes, skis, kayaks, seasonal gear, and the things you don't need every day but don't want to give up.
**A great neighborhood.** Walk to the cafes, restaurants, and shops along Phinney Ridge and Greenwood. Bus routes to downtown Seattle and the University of Washington are nearby, and Ballard is just down the hill.
The home is all-electric.

Good landlord references covering the past two years, or proof of homeownership, and no unpaid balance owed to a previous landlord.
**3. Credit**
A credit score of 700 or higher for each adult applicant, with no open landlord or utility collections or judgments from the past two years. Applicants without an established credit score may qualify based on income and rental history.

Government-issued photo identification is required. A Social Security number is not required; an ITIN is acceptable.
**Documents to include**
- Government-issued photo ID
- Proof of income, such as two recent pay stubs, an offer letter, a benefits letter, or three months of bank statements
