Perks for the Parents

This historic 4-floor family residence, close to museums, parks and the best of Seattle, has a back yard, large, bright living spaces and a fun playroom packed with toys. It sleeps 12 + 1. The house is spacious and feels roomy with space for all. The family can all come together in the 2 living rooms and at the long wooden dining table. For parents who like to keep fit, there’s a home gym with a Peloton Bike and Peloton Tread. Or run to the 48-acre Volunteer Park, a few blocks away, where you’ll also find the Seattle Asian Art Museum, a beautiful Victorian glass conservatory and children’s play area.

Why Kids Love it

Kids of all ages will feel comfortable in this residence with its laid-back vibe and four floors to spread out. The playroom on the top floor has every toy and game kids could wish for and there’s a piano downstairs to try out some tunes. The grassy back yard is great for al fresco family meals and to let off steam. Older kids and teenagers will appreciate the Apple TV, Hulu and HBO provided. Everyone will love snuggling down for a movie night in the home cinema room where there’s also table football.

Doors between the main floor and basement, and bedroom floor and upstairs bedroom can be closed. A travel crib and high chair can be provided on request. WiFi is throughout.

About the Location

This spacious family home is on a quiet, tree-lined street in the residential North Capitol Hill, arguably one of the best neighborhoods in Seattle. It’s a popular area brimming with coffee shops, cute shops and restaurants with everything from burgers to Ethiopian fare on offer. The house is within 10 minutes by car to the beach in Madison Park and to downtown. Seattle Sea-Tac Airport is 25 minutes’ away by car.

Accommodation Details

This Seattle home away from home has 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. On the main floor, there are 2 lounges with sofas and easy chairs and the dine-in kitchen has a 6-ring Wolfe range stove, huge Sub Zero fridge and butler’s sink with a large dining table and benches to fit everyone staying. A small office / workspace is off the kitchen. On the 1st floor are 4 of the bedrooms: 1 kingsize and 3 double / full. There is an additional double / full on the 2nd floor and a queensize in the basement where you’ll find the movie / playroom. There are 3.5 bathrooms, including a primary bathroom with shower, a guest bathroom with shower, a kids’ bathroom with tub and shower and a powder room. The 4th floor is a playroom and outside is a garden with tiled patio, seating and artificial lawn.

Style Notes

City chic. This gorgeous 1908 single family home has much to offer as a relaxing, peaceful base to explore Seattle – quiet at night but close to the action if you want to experience it. It’s a house full of historic charm with high ceilings, decorative glass and an antique staircase. Light pours in from the large, shuttered windows and white walls and neutral furnishings add to the relaxed feel. The kids’ bedrooms have splashes of colour and artwork and there’s a window seat / book corner in one. We love the designer light fitting in the living room, the stainless steel and white kitchen and the lovely location.

Contact Host
My husband and I met in college and have been married for 24 years, and have lived in our current home for the past 20 years. We have four children: 3 girls - ages 20, 18 and 16 and 1 boy - age 12. We love traveling, food and wine and are always trying new restaurants in Seattle - - many within walking distance from our home in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. We remodeled our home from top to bottom (all 4 floors) and it is the perfect home for our family of 6, with room for guests. While we're vacationing we'd love to let another family use our house as home base for exploring Seattle. Let us know if we can help answer any questions!

Kerri was a great host and the house in perfect condition for our stay. She had excellent recommendations for restaurants and local sites to visit during our time in Seattle. Her home emitted the warmth of their family and was an ideal way for our family to feel like a local in a quintessential Seattle neighborhood!

Capitol Hill, Seattle

Coffee houses and counter culture

This partly residential area is the go-to spot for restaurants and bars in Seattle. Just east of the city center and close to Lake Union, its creative and cultural community has a reputation for knowing how to have a good time. Families make use of the many green spaces, the coffee shops and candy stores that line the streets and the easy bus routes into downtown Seattle.
