7357 16th Ave NW #2, Seattle, WA 98117

This is an unfurnished daylight basement apartment in a classic Ballard home that I completely gutted and remodeled in 2018. This 1928 classic Tudor house offers the best of both worlds. Completely new everything (literally, every pipe, wire, window, finish, and appliance) brings all the modern convenience that you would expect from high-end new construction. The classic architecture and mature landscaping bring all the charm of Ballard's Scandinavian heritage. Solar panels, radiant heating, foam insulation, energy efficient windows, and rain barrels minimize your carbon footprint, keep you comfortable, and keep your utility bills low! I installed premium sound insulation in the ceiling, but nonetheless it is a basement apartment and some noise does transmit, so please be aware of this (I lived there for six months, and the ambient noise didn't bother me). Note that the family living upstairs does have a dog that shares the backyard with the basement apartment, so only dog lovers will enjoy this apartment! Furnishings are first rate. New stainless steel appliances, full-size dishwasher, premium washer/dryer, heated towel rack, radiant heat, large windows, digital entry lock, and more. The living room can be easily reconfigured to whatever you want, such as a second bedroom, home theater or rec room, home office, etc. Walk everywhere from this fantastic Ballard location! Situated in Loyal Heights only a few steps away from DeLancey, The Fat Hen Brunswick & Hunt, Un Bien, Rosellini's Artisan Bakery, and other fabulous restaurants. Also nearby are Ballard Market, Trader Joe's, and Larsen's Danish Bakery. In addition to the Barking Dog Alehouse and other neighborhood bars, all the hopping nightlife and restaurants of either Ballard Ave or Fremont are only a 15-minute walk (or 5-minute bus/bike) away. The beach at Golden Gardens and stunning sunset views from Sunset Hill Park are also minutes away. You don't even need to own a car in this neighborhood! Situated just west of 15th Ave NW, you have easy access to multiple bus lines that take you to downtown or SLU in minutes. By car, proximity to 15th Ave NW means you can get out of town quickly and easily via major roads like I5 and Aurora/99. It's the perfect combination of urban convenience and accessibility with the quiet and comfort of a family friendly neighborhood. Just down the road are the Ballard Pool and Ballard High School playfields, which provide endless opportunities to exercise and socialize with your neighbors. If you have older kids, Ballard High School is outstanding. If you have younger, kids Loyal Heights Elementary is only three blocks up the street and is one of the best elementary schools in North Seattle! Utilities are $150 extra per month. Open to discussing shorter lease term.
