The Space: A Creekside Retreat in Seattle

Some homes have a backyard. Ours has a creek.

Thornton Creek winds through the trees directly behind the property, creating a rare natural setting in the heart of North Seattle. Enjoy morning coffee beside the water, watch for birds and local wildlife, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings all while staying close to the best of Seattle.

As evening arrives, string lights glow among the trees. Gather around the fire pit, enjoy dinner from the BBQ, or relax outdoors with the sound of the creek nearby. It’s a true Pacific Northwest experience without leaving the city.

Designed to Feel Like Home

This private, single-level 3BR home offers comfortable spaces for relaxing, working and spending time together.

The living room features warm natural wood accents and comfortable seating, along with a 60" TV, record player and sound system, PS4 (upon request), DVDs, books and board games. Whether settling in for a movie or enjoying music by the fire, there’s plenty to make evenings at home enjoyable.

Outdoor Living Along Thornton Creek

The outdoor setting is one of the highlights of the property. Follow the path toward the creek, gather around the fire pit beneath the string lights, enjoy the covered BBQ and dining area, or use the forest platform for yoga, stretching or a quiet moment among the trees.

The fully fenced backyard and creek area are shared with the upper home, while your covered BBQ patio and outdoor living space are private.


Comfort in Every Season

Air conditioning, heating and portable fans keep the home comfortable year-round. Super-fast WiFi supports streaming and remote work, and a full-size washer and dryer with supplies makes longer stays easy.
