This charming, west facing, light filled, studio apartment is located three floors below street level (53 steps) in a quiet 6-unit bungalow style apartment building. The apartment has a front door (north side) and a back door (south side). The coin operated laundry is just steps away. The unit is freshly painted. Both the living room and the kitchen have bay windows. We request that you do not use the fireplace. Full kitchen with new dishwasher, and nearly new stove. Bathroom includes tub with shower. Heat from radiators. Winter views of Lake Union and Queen Anne. The communal patio (one floor up) on the north side of the building offers winter views of Lake Union and Queen Anne as well, and the private patio (also on the north side) is a cool shady retreat in the summer. Close to the UW Campus, Broadway District, and South Lake Union. The building is on a quiet non-through street with ample non-zoned street parking. The community is tight knit and friendly. Streissguth Gardens (maintained by my wife and me) is across the street, so you can watch the seasons come and go as you leave and return home. Both the Howe and Blaine street stairs are a 1/2 block away and offer amazing exercise opportunities. We own several building on this street, and live across the street in the family house that my father designed and where I grew up. Please express interest in the unit before sending an application.
