Broadview Garden Home: A Quiet Place to Land

Description

A quiet Seattle home for work, rest, and longer stays. We're offering our light-filled two-bedroom home in Seattle's desirable Broadview neighborhood—a peaceful residential area known for its mature trees, gardens, glimpses of Puget Sound, and easy access to both nature and downtown. The home occupies the main floor of our 1946 house and is fully furnished, with two comfortable bedrooms, a generous living area, and a well-equipped kitchen. Large windows fill the home with natural light throughout the day, while the original hardwood floors and period details add warmth and character. The kitchen retains its original tile and checkered floors, thoughtfully paired with updated appliances and everything needed for everyday meals or leisurely cooking. Both bedrooms feature comfortable queen beds with quality Saatva Latex Hybrid mattresses, soft Egyptian cotton linens, and thoughtful touches designed to make a longer stay feel like home. There's space here to live and work comfortably, whether you're writing, researching, working remotely, or simply enjoying a slower pace. A quiet office area with a sit-stand desk and ergonomic chair provides a dedicated workspace, while the antique dining table beneath warm pendant lighting offers an inviting place to gather, read, or spread out a project. The bright living room includes a tucked-away television hidden within an antique armoire, creating a calm, uncluttered feel. French doors open to a private deck and garden courtyard, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The garden is something we tend year-round, with mature plantings, bamboo, and quiet corners to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. A secluded lower garden seating area offers another peaceful place to dine, read, or simply relax. We live in a separate downstairs residence and value a calm, respectful environment. Guests enjoy their own private entrance and living space while knowing we're nearby if anything is needed. The home tends to be a wonderful fit for visiting faculty, healthcare professionals, researchers, writers, remote professionals, and others looking for a peaceful place to settle in for several months. A short walk leads to Carkeek Park, with its wooded hiking trails, open meadows, salmon creek, beach access to Puget Sound, and spectacular Olympic Mountain views. Nearby transit provides easy access to downtown Seattle, the University of Washington, Fred Hutch Cancer Center, Seattle Children's Hospital, and the city's major employment centers. Greenwood's cafés, restaurants, grocery stores, and neighborhood shops are just minutes away, making it easy to settle into everyday life.
