About this house rental

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.

I booked this unit for a return to Seattle. My wife, son and I moved away the year before after 13 years of living in Seattle's Columbia City. We were back for a wedding and to see old friends. Wanted to stay close to our old home because the neighborhood is great and has all the things you'll need for a trip. Coffee shops, groceries, restaurants and access to public transportation. The unit itself was pretty much as described. Lots of rooms and bathrooms. Most of the amenities a group or family will need during their stay. Good value for the amount of space you get. My only criticism is not unique to this property. It is that the unit has definitely been used over the years and is showing signs of wear and tear. The townhome could use a deep cleaning and some tightening up of shelves, cabinets, scuffed walls and the like. As someone who has used short term rentals for 10 years, I'm starting to see this situation more and more. Not unique but noted.

Five stars for location! With just steps to great shops, restaurants, and coffee — we enjoyed our time at Sherry’s home in Seattle’s Columbia City neighborhood. Communication with Sherry was easy; she responded quickly. We did find the rooms a bit small, but spent most of our time in the living area or out and about. If you want to be close to the action, this is your place!
