We completely remodeled our 1914 craftsman to include an open floor plan, gourmet kitchen, a second story, and 2 brand new remodeled bathrooms. The main floor has hardwood floors throughout, a new powder room, home office with a printer, and large living room with a dining table that seats 10 and opens into the large gourmet kitchen with a seated island, sitting area with a couch, and French doors opening to a back deck with a gas grill. The kitchen is fully stocked with two ovens, modern appliances, dishes, and cookware. There is a large walk-in pantry, an Apple airport and built in ceiling stereo speakers so you can dance while you cook! The upper level has a large master suite with big windows and skylights, a large walk-in closet, and a beautiful, brand-new full bathroom with an oversized cast-iron soaking tub and a separate shower. There are 2 additional bedrooms on the upper level with twin beds, large windows and closets, as well as a second full bathroom, linen closet, and laundry room with washer and dryer. The basement level has a full bath with soaking tub, a small bedroom with a queen bed and closet, and large game and media room, complete with flat-screen TV, iPod dock, WiiU, games and countless books. The attic, which is accessible by pull-down stairs, has been left with bare walls and floors and is stocked with art supplies (let your kids paint on the walls), a futon, and an iPod dock, and can be used as an art or music studio. The backyard has a fire pit, and a large netted trampoline, and a back entrance to a mud room in the basement with storage space. Our front door looks out across the street to Salmon Bay Park, a full square block city park, complete with a children?s playground (and a zip line), lovely picnic areas, and lots of open green space. There is off street parking for 1 car in our driveway, and we are a 3-block walk in either direction to 2 express bus stops to take you downtown or to the University of Washington, 20 minutes to either location by car. Seattle is a great town for bicyclists; and we are a 5-10 minute ride from the Burke-Gillman trail, and about a 30-minute ride from downtown. The house is available July 1, 2017. While our street is quiet and residential, with lots of families coming and going to the playground, we are a 5-minute walk to Delancey Street Pizzeria and Honore Artisan bakery, both reviewed in Sunset magazine, and a 10-15 minute walk to the heart of Ballard and its countless restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and boutique shops. You can choose from any type of cuisine you can imagine (there are 200 food and beverage establishments in Ballard) or you can head to the movie theater, music venues, grocery stores, and boutiques. On Sundays, Ballard is the host of what the Wall Street Journal calls one of the Best Farmer?s Markets in America; wander down and buy your organic vegetables for dinner. We are located close to the Ballard Locks and botanical garden, where you can stroll through the lovely gardens or watch the boats sail into Lake Washington. Our home is 3 miles from Golden Gardens, about a 10-minute bike ride to a long expanse of beach where you can BBQ, kayak, or paddleboard, and 3 miles to the urban oasis of Discovery Park where you can hike through wooded forest to the ocean and not even realize you are in the city. The house comes with 3 bikes. 9-12 month lease negotiable
