However, it does not feel like a basement because of large bright windows and because the house is on a hill. In fact, there is even a peek-a-boo view of Lake Washington from one of the bedrooms. We used to live in a basement apartment and have taken special care to choose features that will be make this a very pleasant place to live. These features include charm, large windows, large rooms, great lighting and a general bright and fresh environment. Quiet! Super-quiet bedrooms that have been updated with modern sound insulation technologies (much like the home-theater systems) for your comfortable sleeping. Walkable!
