Other things to note
Originally constructed in 1921, this triplex apartment was thoroughly renovated in 2025, blending historic charm with modern amenities. We take pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable environment for our valued guests. While we do not have air conditioning, we provide fans to ensure your comfort during warmer months. On summer nights the temperature tends to drop, but if you are very sensitive to the heat and you happen to be here in the one week a year that the temperature is in the 90’s, you may want to seek accommodation with air conditioning.
This property is peacefully perched atop the Queen Anne Greenbelt, the shared 6-bedroom apartment offers breathtaking views of Elliott Bay and Puget Sound. There is a walk uphill to the house. Well worth the wonderful view but something to consider when booking. Since this property is located directly on Queen Anne Greenbelt, there’s a possibility that you may encounter some ants, spiders, or bees.

For your security and peace of mind, surveillance cameras are installed at the entry door and parking areas.

We look forward to hosting you in our cozy retreat and helping you make the most of your Seattle adventure! If you have any questions or special requests, feel free to reach out. Safe travels! 🌟
