9541A Phinney Ave N #A, Seattle, WA 98103

Beautiful home with large landscaped yard, parking in driveway, EV CHARGER!, and views in quiet N Seattle neighborhood. This is a 2 story home that was built on top of an existing 1 story house in 2002. The home must be seen to be appreciated. It sits in a naturalistic landscaped yard with several full size trees. It is reached by a private entrance up 2 straight flights of exterior stairs from the back yard. This leads to the 2nd floor deck where you enter the main home. It has an open layout with 2 average size bedrooms on the 2nd floor, and a large 3rd floor master bedroom suite on the 3rd floor that has 3 closets, a full bath, and laundry. The interior is beautifully trimmed with re-surfaced, salvaged old-growth Douglas Fir window frames and baseboards. There are 2 built in cabinets including an entertainment center and a bay window seat. The first floor of the house is a separate apartment, with its own entrances, and is currently occupied. Both are well sound insulated from each other. This unit has sole use of the 60 foot gravel driveway and a 30 amp DC level 2 CCS Combo car charger mounted on an exterior wall along the driveway. The house has a shared basement that is clean and dry, with about 400 square feet of space for use by occupants this unit. Basement is reached via 3 stair steps down from the back yard. The 1st floor residents and the homeowner (who lives out of town) also use storage space in the basement. Bus stops on Greenwood Ave are within a block, and the Northgate Light Rail station is a 1.5 mile walk or bike ride due east. Easy driving access to I-5 going out Northgate Way or 85th Street. The vibrant N 85th and Greenwood Ave commercial district, soon to have a Trader Joe's, is a 10 minute walk with brewpubs, bakeries, banks, restaurants, and a Fred Meyer shopping center. The unit sits at a 330 foot elevation in N Greenwood enabling territorial views to the West, including the Olympic mountains and a tiny peekaboo of Puget Sound. Sunsets are often glorious from the rear deck. A view of Mt Rainier can be seen off to the SE. The house is maintained by the homeowner, not a real estate company. This is a great place for someone who prefers to live in an independent house rather than an apartment or townhouse. The homeowner lives out of state, and has service on call for serious maintenance issues. The tenant should be able to handle simple issues such as changing light bulbs and keeping walkways clean and safe. Owner pays the City water/sewer/solid waste bill (about $110/month). Tennant responsible for Renters Insurance, electricity, gas, internet. Lease term is 1 year, negotiable after that. No smoking inside or outside, no lit candles, no charcoal grill on deck or near house. Possible use of vegetable garden shared with 1st floor tenant in back yard.
