Mid century modern retreat w/ expansive garden

Make memories and unwind in this quiet retreat, tucked among the trees in a private garden at the end of a cul-de-sac. Set on a third-acre lot with more than hundred local species of plants and trees, furnished with brand-new mid-century modern furniture, 2 gas fireplaces and a large deck, this house is a great option for a family or 2 couples in search of a private respite.

Inside, discover an open layout with two gas fireplaces, a well-equipped, full kitchen, a dining area with a table with space for six, a living area with a 55" smart TV for streaming your favorite channels, a second living room to enjoy the sunset over the garden and a large desk to catch-up on work or writing.

Outside, fire up your gas grill and enjoy a summertime cookout. Lounge in the hammock or in the Adirondack chairs for some peaceful moments in the garden. For a more active time, you’re welcome to use the public tennis court located just 100 feet away from the property. The tennis court is on the grounds of Lake Forest Park Elementary school and accessible to the public during school days after 4pm, or during week-ends and school holidays. There is also a playground for your little ones and basketball courts on the school grounds, available after school hours. Take your bike and hop on the Burke Gilman Trail just 2 miles away from the house, for a scenic ride along Lake Washington shore all the way to downtown Seattle (south) or the wineries in Woodinville (north). Lake Washington also offers multiple options for kayaking or paddle boarding.

Centrally located, you'll be able to explore both the wonderful Pacific North West nature and best Seattle attractions. Many hikes, skiing and snow-shoeing available in the winter within 1.5 hour drive. Snow shoes available at house for guests’ use.

Perfect for friend gathering
This home was perfect for our friend gathering. It had plenty of space for conversations, the kitchen was well supplied with high quality plates, bowls and silverware, and the bedrooms were comfortable and clean. There are nice outside areas that we didn't use due to time and the cool, rainy weather. The garden is amazing and so beautiful!!! Thank you for making this visit easy for us!

Wonderful holiday week with family.
We loved our stay. There were 6 adults for Christmas week. We were able to cook a holiday meal in the well appointed kitchen. If we needed anything or had any questions, the owners responded right away. And bonus, there is a pickle ball court next door. We used it and had a ball! Highly recommend.

Exceptional! Rate it 5+ Stars!
It exceeded our expectations! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. My favorite part was their yard and outside space! It is unbelievable! A friendly neighbor walking her dog visited with us and mentioned it was designed by an arborist who ensured something was blooming all seasons of the year. Honestly, it looked like a yard from a magazine. There is also a nice corner wrap around deck to view and enjoy the beauty of the garden and some seating within the garden. The house was decorated very cute with consistent coloring and theme. It was immaculate, items labeled well, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc. Plenty of towels, paper goods, use of cooking spices, etc. The beds had wonderful matresses on them! I have back issues and can not sleep well in any bed except my own and slept well in the bed here! It is obvious tje owners take good care and pride of their property. The owners responded immediately to any questions I had were super friendly and nice. Needless to say, when we come back to Seattle, we are planning our trip dates around the availability of this home! Our trip just would not have been the same at another property!

We visited the area for a small family reunion and this house was perfect for us. It was beautiful, with charming gardens surrounding the house, very quiet and private. Melinda was very quick to respond and was easy to communicate with.

Incredibly beautiful
Despite reading the reviews and looking at photos, I never expected the yards to be so lovely. Whenever I could, I ate and read outdoors or looked out the many windows. The surrounding neighborhood is very pretty, the house is super comfortable and very well-equipped, and Melinda and Christian are fantastic. They responded quickly to messages. Everything we wanted to visit was within 30 minutes yet the house feels secluded and is quiet. I would love to return.

Great Property
We have stayed at quite a few VRBOs and this one has to rank near the top. Perfect location in North Seattle suburb. House is immaculate, well appointed, very private and has an amazing garden. Feels like the house is in the middle of a park. Grocery and restaurants near by. Easy access to all areas of greater Seattle. Melinda answered questions and provided clarification really quickly.

Clean and lovely garden home
This stylish and clean house, with a fabulous garden, is even better than the listing pictured. My little family stayed here for 8 nights recently to visit local family and enjoyed it very much. We lucked out and got to see some very unique flowers blooming in the garden too! It’s well located for a family with little kids, because on the weekends we were able to walk right into the adjacent elementary school property and use the playground! We’ll definitely be back the next time we visit family in the area.
