Tucked in the hills of the Shoreline community sits this beautiful two-level home. Enjoy two living spaces and an ultra-private fenced backyard and patio surrounded by forested greenery. Sliding glass doors in the dining room open to the ultra-private patio and fenced backyard. Sizzle supper on the grill and dine alfresco at the table. This quiet wooded neighborhood is nine miles north of downtown Seattle, with nearby parks, trails, restaurants, and grocery stores. The Shoreline area is located just north of downtown Seattle and has over 330 acres of parks and recreation space. Cruise less than three miles to Carkeek Park and explore abundant hiking trails offering stunning views of the Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Your home is less than a mile from the Interurban Trail, with nearly 12 miles of paved surface. Enjoy quick access to a plethora of eclectic eateries and cafes.

Sprawl out on a comfy sofa and two armchairs and enjoy a movie on the 55" TV. Unwind downstairs in the bonus living area equipped with a futon, a set of chairs, an electric fireplace, an art table, and a 42" TV. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances shine in the well-equipped kitchen. Extras include a Keurig coffee maker, blender, and toaster. Sip coffee at the four-seat table in the kitchen. When it's time to eat, gather for home-cooked meals at the dining room table set for four.

The bathrooms are each stocked with a complimentary starter supply of toiletries. Sleep soundly in the primary bedroom, complete with a 32" TV and en suite bathroom with a double vanity. Amenities include a washer/dryer, complimentary WiFi, and books.

WOW!!

This was an amazing home. From the entrance all the way downstairs into the hidden bedroom oasis. We were there for the reunion of my husband and the son he had relinquished as a newborn 36 yrs earlier., and his beautiful family. This home was perfectly sized for everyone. The beautiful kitchen served its purpose beautifully with it's very modern appliances. While the tables had ample seats for everyone to sit together and chat and get to know each other. Then off to bed in the very comfy beds in the very roomy bedrooms. QUIET, we di f nt notice any road noise which was appreciated as well.we stayed 2 nughts and would love to stay again sometime. Thankyou from the of

Retreat in Shoreline

Home is well decorated and is fully upgraded. Nice kitchen and nice rooms. Nice showers. Can use some cleaning of the walls to keep the home looking nice. Easy access to food and stores. The exterior rooms tend to hear a lot of street noise. Great place to stay with family.

Great location

Very nice house in convenient location. A few quirks, a few lamps missing light bulbs and the TV kept turning itself on even though turned it off multiple times (finally I just muted and ignored it). Clean and well stocked. Lots of steps, which is a bit challenging for elderly (we had an 86 year old in our party).

Beautiful home base for our week in Washington!

This home was a wonderful place to return to each day during our time in the Seattle/Shoreline area. Kitchen is amazing with all sorts of things you might need but hadn't thought to pack. Like water bottles! And travel mugs! Bedrooms are good sized with extremely comfortable beds. Bathrooms are clean and plentiful. Back deck was a great place to start the morning. We absolutely loved this house!

Shoreline WA stay

Property was very good fit for our group. Lots of room, nicely furnished. Had a very small issue with TV remote (no batteries) that was resolved very quickly by management. A couple of suggestions: - Provide dish towels in kitchen. Needed to wash some things daily (e.g. coffee pot) instead of using dishwasher - Add dresser or some type of shelves in bedrooms that did not have them. Overall, very pleasant stay.

Very nice home with multiple maintenance issues

This was a nice home in a very convenient location across the street from a huge grocery market. It was clean and spacious and the Wi-Fi worked. It has the potential to be a 5 star property if the multiple maintenance issues are addressed. These were: 1) The main living area TV was not installed, it was in a box on the floor at arrival, with wires protruding from wall. I called about this and was ultimately refunded $100 as it wasn’t addressed during my stay. 2) 2 of the electric blinds upstairs were sitting on the floor, the third was up and closed but not working 3) the downstairs bathroom faucet is loose, needs to be caulked into the sink 4) the downstairs patio door doesn’t latch properly 5) the back deck badly needs painting. In addition, when we arrived it appeared the thermostat wasn’t working, I eventually figured out the furnace in the garage had been turned off and I had to flip circuit breakers to turn it on (there were no instructions about this). Never did figure out how to turn on the front porch light or use the downstairs electric fireplace (need instructions).
