A hidden gem in the heart of Ballard. Your own stand-alone cottage off the street.
This unique cottage (506+ square feet) is located in the heart of Ballard. This cozy 1-bedroom cottage sits behind the main house and is thus sequestered from traffic. The cottage was built around the turn of the last century and has updated features. A large deck provides extra living space in the good weather.
Amenities are simple - nice full-size kitchen with gas range, washer/dryer, and refrigerator, bathroom with tub/shower. Ample storage. Large living room and bedroom have hardwood floors. Bath and kitchen are faux-wood flooring. No carpet.
Cottage has gas heat and gas stove. Washer and dryer are also in the unit.
Cottage windows face primarily to the west towards a vacant lot, so lots of sunshine. The deck also faces west and offers both sun and shade.
On-site parking for one car for this cottage right outside front door.
The address in Ballard merits a walkability score of 94, making it a very walkable neighborhood where daily errands do not strictly require a car. It is near to everything Ballard has to offer: QFC, Bartell Drugs, Library, the weekly Farmer's Market, Majestic Bay movie theater, coffeehouses & cafes, sushi, Swedish Hospital, the Ballard Locks, and is on the bus line to downtown Seattle and the University of Washington
Cottage is owned by a small family operation, so you can be assured of great communication and prompt response to any issues, management with a heart. Tenants tend to stay here for more than the required year's lease.
Owner pays for major utilities: water, sewer, garbage. Tenant pays natural gas and electricity. Recycling available.
One dog okay, no smoking. Available now September 2026.
Tenant pays gas and electricity. Landlord pays water, sewer and garbage. Recycling available.
Lease for one year at $2100 with month-to-month or lease renewal thereafter. Security deposit ($2100) and pet deposit ($250) are both refundable dependent on cleanliness & damages, if any. Last-month's rent deposit is not required.
I can accept a reusable tenant screening report, plus I will conduct a phone interview.
No Smoking.
