Description

Hello! I'll be living abroad for a year and am looking for someone who will enjoy and care for my home as much as I have. Welcome to a quiet, newly updated townhome in one of Seattle's most vibrant and diverse neighborhoods. Just a short walk from Columbia City, you'll find a grocery store, fantastic restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, a movie theater, and best of all, the Link Light Rail station, making it easy to explore the city without a car. One of my favorite things about living here is Seward Park, one of Seattle's most beautiful parks and home to one of the city's few old-growth forests. In the summer, you can swim at the beaches on Lake Washington, hike the wooded trails, or enjoy weekend bike rides along the lake when the scenic road is closed to cars. From Columbia City, you can easily reach the University of Washington, Seattle University/Capitol Hill, downtown Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Lynnwood, Federal Way, Sea-Tac Airport, and beyond. The home is thoughtfully furnished and well suited for a sabbatical, research appointment, visiting faculty position, medical fellowship, extended work assignment, or anyone looking for a comfortable long-term stay in Seattle. Two of the bedrooms are furnished, while the third is set up as a playroom/guestroom/office (foldable foam mats available). If you'd like a third bed, I'm happy to discuss furnishing it. Recent updates include a new roof, fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, and welcoming living spaces. There are lots of appliances too, including Instant Pot, air fryer, mini-blender and food processor and vacuums, There's also a porch and a small (unfenced) yard, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. The neighborhood offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to everything that makes Columbia City special, including its walkable streets, acclaimed restaurants, farmers market, monthly night market, and excellent transit connections. Whether you're commuting to work or spending the weekend exploring Seattle, it's hard to beat this location. **Please note:** More photos will be added as the final touches on the remodel are completed over the next week. If you're interested in the meantime, I'm happy to send additional photos. I'm looking for guests who will appreciate and care for this home as if it were their own. If you're searching for a welcoming place to call home during your time in Seattle, I'd love to hear from you!
