Goldfinch House - Scandinavian Modern Near Beaches

On a quiet side street in Ballard, just 2.5 blocks from Puget Sound, Goldfinch House is a cheerful contemporary home with sleek Scandinavian style, abundant light and thoughtful luxury touches throughout. Filled with art and greenery, it offers a beautifully equipped chef’s kitchen, media lounge with surround sound and a serene main suite with soaking tub and private deck.

Now accepting bookings for World Cup: June 10–30.

The home sits high above the street, creating a sense of privacy and calm. Skylights and clerestory windows flood the great room with light, where a soft leather sectional, vibrant art, plants and a 65" Sony TV invite relaxed gatherings.

The chef’s kitchen is fully stocked for serious cooking, with high-end appliances, All-Clad cookware and an 11-foot granite island that's ideal for buffet dining and makes meal prep a shared experience.

The main suite is an elegant retreat with king bed, luxe linens, high ceilings, and sliding doors to a furnished deck overlooking landscaped gardens. The ensuite bath features a deep soaking tub, radiant floors, and a spacious two-person glass shower. A quiet queen bedroom and stylish guest bath complete the main level.

Downstairs, the media room features an Italian leather reclining sofa, 75" screen and surround sound. A cozy sleeping area with a queen bed and luxurious linens, plus a workstation, sits just beyond a divider stocked with Northwest books.

Outdoors, the private backyard offers a lawn, dining terrace, professional grill, and lush plantings—ideal for al fresco meals and lounging.

Location highlights:
• 5-minute walk to the Ballard Locks and National Nordic Museum
• Easy waterfront access with a scenic promenade past Shilshole Marina to Golden Gardens Beach
• 15-minute walk to Ballard Avenue’s historic shops, chef-driven restaurants and brewery district
• 20 minutes to downtown Seattle

So close to the Sound you can smell the sea at low tide, Goldfinch House offers a stay that’s far beyond the usual—an inviting, design-forward home with concierge-style hospitality.

Owners Leslie and Brian, Northwest natives and devoted food lovers, are happy to share recommendations and help guests craft memorable itineraries.

This was a beautiful, very well maintained house. The grounds, especially the backyard patio and landscaping are so relaxing. The kitchen was a chef's dream and well supplied. Leslie was very communicative and easily reached. Check-in was simple as was check out. The house is in the outskirts of the city and in a quiet neighborhood. I will continue to rent here as long as our son lives in Seattle. Highly recommended!

May Seattle Visit

We enjoyed the accommodations at Goldfinch House very much! We had 3 generations staying and all felt comfortable. Master bedroom is fabulous. The heated floors in the bathroom were especially nice. Showers were clean and there were plenty of plush towels. We cooked there a couple of nights including use of the gas grill. The kitchen is well stocked and spacious for cooking meals. The appliances are top quality and easy to use. The upstairs sitting area has multiple seating options including a comfy sectional.The house is located in a terrific location in Ballard in a quiet residential neighborhood. However, it is a close drive to groceries, Norway Museum, Golden Gardens, Ballard Locks and restaurants. The only thing to be aware of if you stay here is that the guests sleeping down in the basement will hear lots of the noises above as it has an open stairwell and no bedroom door to close down there at night. It worked out fine with all adults staying there, but we did have to be very quiet upstairs while college students were sleeping in the basement. In addition, the 2nd bathroom that is shared by Bedroom #2 and #3 is a bit tight. We had 4 adults using it and there wasn't much counter space for supplies. However, the shower and heated floors in there are wonderful! Plus, it has a huge skylight for natural lighting during the day. We would definitely stay at Goldfinch House again sometime. The owners were very easy to communicate with and worked hard to make our stay terrific!

Fantastic and Relaxing

I stayed with my family for just under a week and could not be happier with the property, location, and communication with the owner. Leslie has a wealth of knowledge about the area and genuinely enjoys helping guests have a great time. We all fully enjoyed every second of our stay and will absolutely stay here again if the opportunity arises.

Gut: Sauberkeit, Ausstattung, Zustand der Unterkunft und Kommunikation
Our stay at Goldfinch House was absolutely fantastic and we will definitely book here again! The host was excellent at communicating and was super accommodating! Right after booking we received a welcome email with a pdf file that outlined everything we need to know about the house and included so many wonderful recommendations for restaurants and attractions in the area. The host even produced extra recommendations for questions that I had. The home is so beautiful and clean. The garden was also very beautiful. We came with 2 small children who loved having the outdoor space. The kitchen is well stocked and the bathrooms had a lot of great supplies, like black face towels and shampoo, conditioner, body soap and extra towels. 10/10 would recommend!

Great location

The house is very comfortable and well equipped. And it is in a convenient location in a nice neighborhood in a fun part of the city. The only drawback is that for late sleepers the two bedrooms on the main level do not have adequate shades to keep the morning light out.

Amazing clean home, great location !

Leslie, the homeowner, provided excellent pre-arrival communication and greeted us upon arrival to acquaint us to the house and surrounding area. The home is extremely clean, well stocked with every amenity needed, and well appointed. The beds and couches were all very comfortable. The backyard is a wonderful private oasis. The property is located conveniently to everything in Ballard. There is parking in the driveway and on the street. Leslie is very knowledge of the area and was helpful in restaurant recommendations. We had a wonderful visit and look forward to returning.

STOP LOOKING, THIS IS THE HOUSE!

First and foremost, this is the cleanest home we have ever stayed in!! The small cobblestone patio out front is perfect for morning coffee and taking in the cool morning air. The back patio is a private oasis with seating for your entire family. Absolutely beautiful and so relaxing. The downstairs media room was perfect for our teenagers to escape and have their own space. The entire home is furnished with top of the line linens and furnishings. If you like to cook, this is your kitchen! Our family came to town for the Taylor Swift concert and to explore different areas of Seattle. We didn’t want to stay in the heart of the city with the thousands of other visitors. This home is located in a quiet, safe and charming neighborhood. There are a number of restaurants and outdoor activities within walking distance. Leslie was like having a private travel guide. She asked our interests and created a list of everything in the area that would meet those needs. It was unlike anything we have ever seen when booking with VRBO. She was genuinely happy to provide us with her wealth of knowledge. It was such a pleasure working with her and made our stay that much more enjoyable. We will absolutely come back to Brian and Leslie’s home for our next trip to Seattle!

Top Notch!!! New and super modern, clean, comfortable!

Absolutely one of the BEST VRBO rentals we have stayed in!!! Leslie, the host, has ensured all the comforts of home plus many more. The home and furnishings are brand new! The heated bathroom floors were a treat and the beds were super comfortable! The kitchen is overstocked with everything you could ever need/want to prepare a simple or gourmet meal. We made a large Thanksgiving dinner and had every dish, pan, mixer, serving platter, etc that we needed and some (there was even a gravy server). We would definitely stay here again and again! Thank you, Leslie!

Had a great dinner in the backyard. Bed was too soft for mom and dad, but it's probably a top-notch bed just like everything else in the house.

Wondeful home away from home!

We've had good and bad experiences with renting at other places, but this home was wonderful and relaxing from beginning to end. The home is perfect, from the gourmet kitchen and amazing media room, to the backyard oasis, a great neighborhood for walking, and beautuful home design inside and out. Our hostess was great, and we can't wait to go back!

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Leslie Forsberg

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
Leslie, a former magazine editor and travel writer, and Brian, an architectural designer and former Seattle homebuilder, live in Port Angeles, just minutes from Olympic National Park, where they continue to pursue projects in design, real estate and community development. They also own Blue Heron Lakehouse, a 5-star luxury home on Lake Sammamish, just 25 minutes east of Seattle—offering guests another uniquely Northwest experience.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

We chose this neighborhood because it offers something increasingly rare in Seattle: a peaceful, beautiful residential setting that’s still deeply connected to the water, culture and daily life of the city.

Goldfinch House sits in one of Ballard’s most sought-after pockets—quiet streets lined with gardens and beautiful homes, just a few blocks from Puget Sound. The fresh air, comfortable microclimate and proximity to the water make it feel like a retreat, while everything you want to explore is an easy walk away.

Within minutes, guests can reach the Ballard Locks, Shilshole Bay Marina, the National Nordic Museum and the historic Ballard Avenue district, known for its chef-driven restaurants, independent boutiques and lively nightlife scene. The waterfront offers abundant recreation as well, from paddleboarding and kayaking to long walks along the marina and days in the sun and sand at Golden Gardens, widely considered Seattle’s best sand beach. In the evenings, the best place to be is Sunset View Park, where the neighborhood gathers to watch the sun setting over the water and the Olympic Mountains.

This has been Leslie's family home for more than three decades, and she raised her family here—so we know this neighborhood intimately. Ballard, and specifically this pocket neighborhood--Sunset Hill--was an easy choice because it balances calm and beauty with access and energy, and it’s a place people tend to fall in love with quickly and remember long after they leave.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

Goldfinch House isn’t a purpose-built rental—it’s our own home, built in 2018 and thoughtfully designed for how people actually live, cook, relax and gather. Every space reflects things we value and use ourselves, which guests consistently tell us makes the home feel unusually warm, comfortable and homey.

The interiors are filled with natural light from skylights and clerestory windows, creating bright, open rooms accented by contemporary art and cheerful colors. The layout offers both togetherness and privacy, with two distinct living areas including a media lounge with a 75" screen, surround sound and an Italian leather reclining sofa.

The kitchen is a true standout. Designed for serious cooking, it’s stocked far beyond the usual rental with high-end appliances, All-Clad cookware, abundant tools and beautiful serving pieces—ideal for everything from casual breakfasts to celebratory dinners.

Outdoors, the home opens to an expansive backyard with terrace dining for eight, a professional grill, furnished deck, lawn, flowering shrubs and fruit trees—an uncommonly spacious and relaxing space.

Guests also appreciate practical comforts that matter: blazing-fast internet, a dedicated workstation, premium bedding with high-thread-count linens and a peaceful setting that feels removed from the city while remaining walkable to Puget Sound, the Ballard Locks, museums, beaches and Ballard’s historic dining and shopping district.

In short, Goldfinch House offers high-quality design, luxurious finishes and thoughtfully curated amenities, paired with a location that no other Seattle neighborhood can match.
