About this home

Situated on a corner lot in Ballard’s Salmon Bay neighborhood, this remodeled farmhouse pairs original charm with timeless PNW updates. Fir floors and the staircase banister honor its history, while tall ceilings, built-ins and generous windows make it feel open and light-filled, even on gray Seattle days. The kitchen is made for cooking and gathering, with marble counters, large island, prep sink, BlueStar range, and beverage fridge. It opens to a cozy family room with wood stove and mini-split for year-round comfort. Open the LaCantina accordion doors for easy outdoor entertaining beneath Italian plum, fig and cherry trees. Upstairs features the sought-after layout: 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and laundry with storage. The vaulted primary suite feels like a retreat, with two walk-in closets, sunny sitting nook, and spa-like bath, a skylit shower and original clawfoot tub. Downstairs is open and flows seamlessly between rooms. The main-floor office, back-entry drop zone & tucked-away half bath add practical touches. The converted garage is a separate living space, light-filled with skylights, a kitchen, full bath, laundry, storage loft and its own heating and cooling. Use it for guests, work or play, or explore the income potential. Off-street parking adds ease. A block from both Salmon Bay Park and Salmon Bay K–8 School, the location is quiet and peaceful while still close to Ballard’s many shops and restaurants. Settle in on the front porch and enjoy your next chapter.
