Private Garden Home Minutes from Downtown & UW

Private Garden Home Minutes from Downtown & UW

Plenty of parking space. This peaceful, single-level home with minimal steps offers a rare blend: the serenity of a private garden retreat, right in the heart of Seattle. Located in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood.

Inside, the home is filled with natural light and warmth, featuring central air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. The living room features vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a large picture window that overlooks a beautifully landscaped front yard. A row of Italian cypress trees creates a natural privacy wall, shielding the home from the quiet street and offering a lush green view framed by flowering plants and shrubs. French doors off the dining area open to a private backyard deck with lounge seating—perfect for morning coffee or evening wine.

The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove, perfect for preparing meals with ease and pleasure. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms—each featuring luxury smart bidet toilets—the home strikes a balance between comfort and function. A dedicated office with garden views makes remote work seamless. Free on-site and street parking, walkability to beloved bakeries and fine dining, and close access to nature make this a rare stay that offers the best of both worlds: peace and privacy, right inside the city.

Please note there are a few small steps at the entrance and backyard deck, but no interior stairs.

We had a wonderful and comfortable stay! The home is immaculate, safe, roomy, on a quiet street, and has some thoughtful touches that really elevated the stay. There was ample street parking and is next door to the arboretum. We would stay at the property again in a heartbeat.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Everything was great. The host was very responsive and flexible. The house is great. It's in a perfect location. Madison Park is where our kids and their spouses live. So it was ideal. House is comfortable, a nice size, nice amenities. The area has too many great restaurants. Arboretum is right there. Had a very special time.
