Spacious layout and lots of windows. You certainly won't feel confined. More breweries, restaurants, cafes and shops than you could visit in a week, all within walking distance. Good bookstore nearby (Secret Garden) and great community owned coop with tasty prepared food and excellent produce (PCC). Enjoy the outdoors by walking to the Golden Garden stairs leading to a bay or visiting the Ballard locks. One tip - the home is across from an elementary school so if you are a light sleeper or need to focus on work, bring earplugs or headphones because at recess kids will be kids running around, playing basketball, etc.
