A 3-story eco-built townhouse in the heart of Columbia City, six minutes on foot from the light rail to downtown Seattle. Three bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bathroom — no sharing, complete independence for every guest. Two private outdoor patios, a gas fireplace, solar panels, and a 95 Walk Score location steps from some of Seattle’s best independent restaurants, a weekly farmers market, and a neighborhood that consistently ranks among the city’s most beloved.
The eco credentials are genuine: solar panels and hydronic radiant heating are built into the home’s design, not retrofitted. Sustainably built, thoughtfully maintained.
THE HOME
Three floors of modern eco design — floating stairs, large windows, and a layout that separates the sleeping floors from the living floor so late nights in the living room don’t disturb early risers upstairs.
1st floor: Bedroom 1 (queen sofa bed, en-suite bathroom with tub and shower), patio access
2nd floor: Living room with gas fireplace, dining area, fully stocked kitchen, second patio access
3rd floor: Bedroom 2 (double bed, en-suite bathroom), Bedroom 3 (queen bed, en-suite bathroom)
Note: Bedroom 1 is a sofa bed that converts to a queen — not a standard bed frame. Extra air mattress available on request for groups over 6. Garage and storage closet are not included in guest access. Street parking on 39th Ave S is free and typically easy to find.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Columbia City is one of Seattle’s most celebrated neighborhoods — a historic business district with outstanding food, a twice-weekly farmers market, community events year-round, and a genuine neighborhood character that’s been drawing families and food lovers for decades. The restaurants alone justify the stay: Ethiopian, Japanese, Vietnamese, farm-to-table American, and some of the best pizza in the city, all within a 2-minute walk. The light rail puts downtown Seattle 12 minutes away without a car.
