Unit currently empty. This historic 1-bedroom apartment, built in 1915 in Couch's Addition of the NW Alphabet District, retains its period charm, with updates. Top-hung wood windows with storm covers let the summer breezes in while providing some insulation in the winter. Oak floors throughout, except for white hexagonal tile in bathroom and black-and-white checkered vinyl kitchen floor. White subway tile in bath and kitchen. Dark grey slate kitchen countertops. With southern and eastern exposure, the unit features a fire escape terrace on the south face and is accessed from private french doors with unobstructed views of downtown. The triple-brick walls are shaded by trees in the summer so this apartment stays cool without A/C. Custom-fitted honey-comb down-up/up-down blinds on the windows and royal blue velvet drapes with black-out backing on the french doors keep the apartment warm in the winter. Additional convection electric wall heaters in living, dining and bathroom regulate temperature during the coldest months. The layout is super efficient: a vestibule large enough to keep your precious road bike; tons of closet space; a snug bed-closet with a tall window fits a full-sized bed and bureau, or use as an office space; formal dining and living rooms; and a compact kitchen holds everything you can throw or store at it. (I fit thirteen boxes of small appliances, pots, pans, crockery and dinner placements for serving twelve, along with crystal.) Electric range and oven, dishwasher and refrigerator/freezer. The Location and Building Close to 77/24/15/18/20 bus lines and a four-minute walk to Providence Park MAX (I've timed it: 50 minutes door-to-door to the airport), and five blocks from Whole Foods, eight blocks from Trader Joe's, and ten minutes' walk from either Pearl/Uptown and the streetcar or NW 21st/23rd Avenues. The location can't be beat for walkability. Easy-in/easy-out level access and elevator make moving a cinch. Half-height storage unit with lock provided on the ground floor. Community bicycle parking and laundry facilities also located on ground floor (plus a community lending library). Electronic access via cell phone allows you to provide access when not physically on the premises. Lease terms flexible: month-to-month, 6-month, 11-month. Owner pays water, garbage; tenant pays electric and cable/internet.
