Private Garden Home Minutes from Downtown & UW

A rare Seattle gem: nature and privacy without leaving the city. Set in a quiet, green neighborhood just a 5-minute walk to the breathtaking Washington Park Arboretum—a 230-acre oasis of trails and Japanese Garden, 15-minute drive to downtown, and under 10 minutes to UW and Husky Stadium. This one-story home offers the space, calm, and comfort usually found far outside the city. Lush gardens, a private deck, and peaceful interiors create a retreat inspired by relaxed European sensibility.

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, it’s walking distance to the Washington Park Arboretum and Japanese Garden, minutes from Lake Washington, under 10-minute drive to UW and Husky Stadium, and just a 15-minute drive to the energy of downtown.

Inside, the home is filled with natural light and warmth, featuring central air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort. The living room boasts vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and a large picture window overlooking 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 balances 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.
