The Living Space:
Gas fireplace and comfortable seating create a relaxed gathering spot where you can watch the TV, spin records on the turntable, or browse the shelves of books, DVDs, and board games for a low-key evening. The family room also includes a queen sofa sleeper for extra guests, so it functions as both a daytime hangout and a flexible sleeping area when needed.

This single-level upper unit’s living area features mid-century décor and natural wood accents that let winter light filter through the large picture windows, with wooded creek views just outside. The space flows naturally into the dining area and fully equipped kitchen, and the nearby covered BBQ deck looks over Thornton Creek, making it easy to move from cooking and dining to relaxing by the fire.

Your Work-From -Anywhere Setup:
Dedicated desk and chair in the king bedroom with basic office supplies make it easy to set up for a work session or video call. The desk sits where natural light comes through the large picture windows, and room-darkening shades give you control over glare so you can focus when needed.

Fast Wi-Fi and a quiet, creek-side setting support remote work and longer stays, so you can join meetings and upload files without hassle. The private entrance and peaceful neighborhood also help reduce interruptions during the workday.

Outdoor Living:
Covered private BBQ deck that overlooks Thornton Creek - grill and eat outside while enjoying the forested view. The unit has its own covered deck and separate outdoor living area within a shared, greenery-framed backyard, so you get privacy for cooking and dining while still having room to spread out.

Fire pit, outdoor furniture, and seasonal lighting make evenings easy for gathering, and the fully fenced yard is pet-friendly for dogs to roam safely. A private yoga platform plus yoga mats, bikes, and outdoor games are available for use year-round, weather permitting, so you can stretch, ride, or play just steps from the door.

The Neighborhood:
Quiet, wooded Thornton Creek neighborhood, providing a restorative, low-traffic setting while still inside Seattle - great for guests who want calm after busy days. Self check-in with a SmartLock and free on-site and street parking make arrivals and departures flexible, and public transit connects you to downtown attractions, stadiums, and work centers. The area is close to Northgate Mall for shopping and dining options and sits near major medical centers: Kaiser Permanente Northgate about 1 mile, University of Washington Medical Center Northwest about 2 miles, UW Montlake about 5 miles, and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research about 6 miles.

Creekside trails and nearby green spaces put outdoor time within easy reach, with a creek trail just steps from the house and on-site outdoor features like a private yoga platform, deck, and fire pit for stretching or evening gatherings. Cultural and sports venues - including UW Husky Stadium, T-Mobile Park, Lumen Field, Climate Pledge Arena, and Memorial Stadium - are a short trip away, and downtown Seattle attractions such as the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, and the Seattle Aquarium are within easy day-trip range. This location suits families with pets, remote workers, small groups, sports fans attending stadium events, and medical visitors needing convenient access to local hospitals.
You’re just 7 miles from downtown Seattle and perfectly positioned near the University of Washington, top healthcare facilities, and the city’s top sporting venues. Getting around is easy! You're only a mile from the Northgate Light Rail station and a 5-minute walk to the Rapid Ride bus line. Hop on the Link Light Rail for a quick, affordable ride to UW, downtown, Lumen Field, T-Mobile Park, or Sea-Tac Airport. It’s just $3.50 and trains run every 8 minutes, making your commute or game day a breeze.
SmartLock keyless entry lets you arrive on your schedule: you’ll receive a unique access code and step-by-step instructions 24 hours before check-in, with an on-site backup key if the internet goes down. You have the private upper-unit entrance and a separate BBQ deck and outdoor living area for this unit, plus access to the fully fenced, shared backyard with a fire pit and seating for recreation.
