707 23rd Ave E, Seattle, WA 98112

Welcome! This warm and inviting downstairs home offers the comfort of a private space with the feel of a full house, perfect for settling in, spreading out, and truly enjoying everyday living. You will be renting the lower unit of a very informal duplex. The owners have just downsized and are empty-nest, and will be living quietly above you with Buddy the cat. The two spaces are independent from each other excepting the basement which is rarely used. More about your space. This charming duplex-style lower unit has its own private front and back entrances, giving you a strong sense of independence while still being part of a quiet and well-kept home. Inside, the layout feels open and spacious, with plenty of room to relax, host gatherings, or simply enjoy a cozy evening in. The living area features a beautiful fireplace, two comfortable seating areas, a smart TV, and a generous dining area with a table that seats up to eight. A piano adds a unique and welcoming touch, making the space feel both creative and homey. The kitchen is large and thoughtfully designed in a galley style, with abundant counter space ideal for cooking projects of any size. It comes fully furnished with high-end appliances, including a full-size fridge, dishwasher and microwave. The counters are slightly higher than average, and two barstools add both comfort and convenience. Both bedrooms are furnished with queen beds. The larger bedroom feels like a peaceful retreat, with soundproofing, two closets, including a walk-in closet with a mini fridge, and enough room for a workspace. The second bedroom is equally comfortable, with a closet, a desk, and soft window coverings for restful nights. The bathroom features a tub-and-shower combination, a single vanity, and practical storage throughout. You will also enjoy a bright sunroom perfect for plants or quiet mornings, along with access to a front porch seating area and a small backyard that slopes gently upward. Full laundry and access to workshop in the basement. You are encouraged to build a birdhouse or go-kart! Utilities, high-speed internet with LAN access, and furnishings are all included, making your move simple and stress-free. This home is especially well-suited for families, with a welcoming suburban feel and access to a great elementary school. There is plenty of room for playdates, gatherings, or simply enjoying a comfortable and flexible lifestyle that is hard to find in typical rentals. Parking is available on the street just a short distance away, and tenants are welcome to garden to make the space their own. The house is also located along bus lines accessing the light rail which will take you to the airport, the Eastside, Northgate, and beyond. The August 20 move-in date is selected to give plenty of time to register for school using the signed lease. The host is the property owner and empty nester, having raised two boys here. Looking forward to a stable renter who wants to make their own memories. Minimum 1 year lease.
