Hilltop Sanctuary

We recently had the pleasure of renting Becky’s delightful 1914 Craftsman atop Queen Anne and could not have been more pleased. Located nearly as high in the sky as one can get on the hill this house made a fantastic weekend home for our family and friends.

Location, location, location! From Queen Anne, Seattle spreads down and around in all directions. Getting into and away from the house is a breeze and even if your goal is to go as short a distance from the house as possible, shopping on Queen Anne Avenue North allows you to do just that.

The home seems larger than it is. With an efficient, well-equipped kitchen and a dining room fortified with a large country table, dinner for 8 is a snap! An intimate patio with grill supports 4 with ease. We made use of the basement laundry, which is such a great amenity to have in a rental home. An excellent entertainment system and WiFi from the bright, cheery living room and adjacent powder room round out the lower level.

Upstairs, the pretty master and it adjoining bath overlooks the neighbor’s small flock of clucking hens which is fun to hear in the morning. A next door neighbor is a bee-keeper. Between hens and hive one might think you were in the country!

Separated by a center bedroom with twin beds and a spacious bath with 2-person shower, the front bedroom doubles the ample closet space found in the other 2 bedrooms and is a great place to relax during the evening.

Becky’s place is a gem. Well kept, clean and beautifully decorated, you will, as we did, fall in love with it.
