This is a lovely Craftsman actively lived in family home that has many nice updates as you can see in the pictures. Given the owners live here, the the house is well stocked with what ever you might need including full service matching silverware and china, which you know if you have rented regularly, is often not the case. Sara is extremely friendly and responsive. The Kitchen juxtaposed apposed to the back deck and patio entertaining space is splendid. The back yard is very private and the neighbors on either side are extremely welcoming and friendly. If it's Summer, Mike across the street will likely bring you fresh vegetables from his garden. As in most urban areas, there is some intermittent airplane noise depending on prevailing winds/landing approaches. If you are not from the area, the house is located just steps from one of Seattle's best parks, (Ravenna Park). This house has street parking only, and during our two month stay we never had any difficulty finding space near the front of the building. We are bicyclists' and the famous Burke Gilman walking and riding trail can be easily accessed from the house in both both the North and South directions.
