About this place

Madrona Mini-Compound: Private Apartment + Detached Studio, Garden Lounge & Greenhouse

Welcome! You’ve found the Mini-Compound! In the heart of Madrona—1 block to the park (playground + tennis!), 2 to coffee and bakeries—this garden oasis sleeps 4 and offers a series of spaces, all yours to enjoy:

A cozy, well-appointed main apartment.

A detached flex studio for work or relaxation.

A private lounge for unwinding or entertaining.

A greenhouse with herbs to pick or tend.

The space
Renovated and relaunched in 2024, this charming Madrona mini-compound set amongst roses, herbs, fruit trees, and grapes, offers 1,500 square feet of versatile indoor/outdoor space, complete with a private driveway and serene outdoor lounge.

The Main Apartment (800 sq ft)
A cozy retreat with a studio-style bedroom featuring a luxurious king bed, comfy Haden Urban Sofa Bed, kitchen, breakfast nook, laundry area, and a bathroom with heated floors. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, mini-dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, Instant Pot, slow cooker, air fryer, rice cooker, stick blender, and food processor. (Note: no cooktop.) A top-tier washer and dryer are all yours to use.

The Private Studio (375 sq ft)
Just 20 feet from the apartment, this flexible, detached studio can serve as a creative workspace, game room, guest lounge, or third sleeping area (with both a twin bed with memory foam mattress, and an additional Haden Sofa Bed). It’s ideal for families, professionals, or anyone needing room to spread out. Note: The studio does not have a bathroom, but the apartment's is just a 10-second walk away.

Outdoor Amenities
Enjoy your own gated private outdoor lounge space, off-street parking, and a tranquil 13-foot greenhouse filled with herbs—yours to explore and enjoy.

We provide everything you need, including: Linens, Shampoo, Conditioner, Body Wash, Hairdryer, First-aid kit, Iron and Ironing board, Washer + Dryer, Detergent, Dishes, Pots, Pans, Olive oil, Spices, and a stacked coffee bar with caff and decaf pods, Stevia, Demarra sugar cubes, and milk frother.

The Neighborhood
Madrona is a beloved Seattle gem. Just a 2-minute stroll to 34th Street brings you to yoga and pilates studios, boutiques, a seafood market, Red Cow by Ethan Stowell, Cafe Soleil, Vendemmia, and other fantastic local spots. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the nearby trails and breathtaking views of Lake Washington.

Guest access
Guests have exclusive access to the driveway, the outdoor lounge area, the apt, the greenhouse, and the guesthouse.

Other things to note
The Casita apt is a basement MIL, and thus it is slightly quirky, but the space is cozy and has what you need. If you are 6' or over, there are a few places where you will need to duck your head.

No smoking in or around the property. If you are a heavy smoker, this property is not a good fit.
