Urban Retreat- walk to the beach!

Walk to the beach from this new architecturally designed studio loft - tucked away in our beautiful backyard. Think "urban barn" with lots of natural light. Our neighborhood is charming and quiet - yet minutes from downtown! The studio is NEWly renovated and located behind our 1918 craftsman home. Open up the large modern barn doors and you will find a cool living space to enjoy. We prefer longer stays - generally a 5 day minimum. One well trained dog might be accepted. Please Inquire The space The space: Architectually designed with a lovely mix of wood, concrete and steel. Just under 400 s/f. There is a cozy sitting area, a place to eat and look out at the garden, and a small kitchenette with butcher block counters and a big ole farm sink. The kitchenette is basic and not designed for extensive cooking. There is a countertop convection oven and hot plates to boil, undercounter refridgerator, coffee maker and most other basics for light prepping/cooking and eating. The bathroom has an open shower and heated tiled floors. The sleeping loft for two is skylit and cozy. A comfy queen sized bed over a beautiful Oriental rug. Please note: You must be able to climb the ladder up there. It is sturdy and on rollers. The backyard is shared, but generally yours. There is a gas fire pit with chairs and new pendledton woolen blankets stored in the studio to keep you extra toasty. There are many mature trees on the property. The Neighborhood: Mt Baker is perfect. Quite, but yet central with easy access downtown. The neighborhood sits on Lake Washington, there are stunning views, lovely historic homes, trails, a Olmsted Brothers park and views of Mt Rainer. There are a few places walkable to eat and shop, but, minimal. But you can hop on the bus behind our home and get right into the International District, Pioneer Square and downtown in minutes! The light rail is also a 10 minute walk which can take you to the airport and other parts of the city. There is free, ample parking in front of the house. We do have a dog, a sweet small dog named Bruce. You might find him snooping around the backyard, as he is curious. If dogs are not your thing, just let us know. He is a bit timid around others. We will respect your privacy, but feel free to ask about things. We love sharing our city with folks. Our lives are active, but we are in reach. Enjoy your stay.
