This is a nice, simple, light, bright, clean old Ballard rambler in a fantastic neighborhood. It's spacious with 3 bedrooms plus a downstairs playroom or art space and an additional ddownstairs room that could be a guest bedroom or storage space. Walking distance to Whitman Middle School, Soundview Playfield, and most importantly, Dick's Hamburgers! This house has the biggest lot on the block with 2 fenced yards (one for the kids on one for the critters?) and a 3rd semi-fenced yard with raised beds for gardening. There are currently red rasberry bushes and a lovely french plum tree on the property. The owner (that's me!) keeps a car in the garage off the alley however the other side is availble to you for a car or for storage. In addition, there's an off street parking space adjecent to the garage. It's a lovely quiet neighborhood just a block off of Olympic Manor and street parking is no problem. 2 doors down at the end of the dead end street is the Crown Hill Glen Natural area. It's a 5 minute walk to Metropolitan Market and Grocery Outlet. Many of the neighbors have young kids between 3 and 7 years old and there's a really nice neighborhood feeling. There's also alley access and both 19th (the street address) and 20th (the alley) dead end 4 lots to the north. A little bit about me: I've been a Seattle small landlord for almost 36 years and do all of my maintence and so on myself. You'd be dealing with a real person and not some company that might, or might not, return your calls. If something's wrong, I come and fix it. I've got a long history of honest dealings with my tenants and would be happy to provide references. On the business end: I don't use Zillow's application process so please don't apply there. I like to meet people first and show off the property. If you find you're interested I'll send you and invite to apply through Trans Union Smart move. Should you decide to accept the invite you'd pay them a small fee, I think it's around $40, and they will do the background check and send me a report so I never see your personal details. I set security deposit at 1 1/2 month's rent to be paid before move in with first month's rent due before move in as well. And finally, because of the sheer volume of scammers out there these days I will not be responding to messages such as "is it available?" and the like. I've been doing this since, well, since the 1900's and need a little romancing so send me a brief (or a wordy) note and we can arrange a time to run up and have a look around. Oh, there will be a 3D Matterport tour coming soon. I'm just waiting for it to process. Terms are for 1 year lease with option to extend. Tenant pays for electric with Seattle City Light and Water/Sewer/Garbage with Seattle Public Utilities. Internet and cable are up to tenant to pay and arrange. No smoking of any sort is permitted inside of the house but outside is fine. Tenant is responsible for regular cleanup of yard and pet waste, should there be any.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
