Nearby highlights include: Ray's Boathouse — approx. 5-minute walk Ballard Locks — approx. 15-minute walk Shilshole Bay Marina — approx. 15-minute walk Burke-Gilman Trail — approx. 100 feet away Golden Gardens Park & Beach — minutes away Ballard Avenue restaurants, breweries, cafés and boutiques Fremont Seattle Center & Space Needle Climate Pledge Arena Pike Place Market Downtown Seattle Lumen Field T-Mobile Park Downtown Seattle is generally around 15–20 minutes by car, depending on traffic. Whether you're visiting for a family vacation, romantic Seattle getaway, business trip, sporting event, concert or one of Seattle's many festivals and special events, Ballard makes an incredible home base. 🚆 IMPORTANT: ACTIVE RAIL LINE We want every guest to know exactly what to expect before booking. The home is located alongside an active railroad line, and trains can be seen and heard from the property during both daytime and nighttime hours. There is no set train schedule. Some days are relatively quiet, while others have more frequent activity. Passing trains typically last approximately 1–8 minutes, depending on the type and length of the train. We've taken several steps to make the interior more comfortable, including new double-pane windows, sound-reducing finishes, premium white-noise machines in each bedroom and complimentary earplugs. The primary king bedroom is located at the back of the home, furthest from the tracks, and is generally the most insulated bedroom. Closing the bedroom door and blinds and using the provided sound machine can further reduce outside noise. Sound sensitivity varies significantly from person to person. Many of our guests adjust quickly to the trains, while train enthusiasts and families with children sometimes find watching them pass to be a memorable part of the experience. We personally love the unique combination of passing trains, boats on the water, Olympic Mountain views and incredible sunsets that makes this location unlike anywhere else. That said, if you are an exceptionally light sleeper or require a completely silent environment, we want to be transparent that this home may not be the best fit for you. If you're comfortable with passing trains and love the idea of waking up to panoramic Puget Sound views while staying in one of Seattle's most desirable neighborhoods, we think you'll absolutely love it here. 🚙 PARKING Free parking is available along 37th Ave NW near the rock retaining wall and hedges. Please do not park in the carport or in the two spaces at the dead end that block access to the carport. The far-left space at the dead end may be used when available. 🔑 GETTING TO THE UNIT The home is located on the second level. Walk through the right side of the carport and down one flight of stairs. Unit #2's private entrance is located at the bottom of the stairs. We use a smart keypad lock, and you'll receive your unique access code prior to check-in. ✨ WHY GUESTS LOVE IT HERE Panoramic Puget Sound & Olympic Mountain views Incredible west-facing sunsets Private deck King primary suite 2 bedrooms + dedicated office/den 2 full bathrooms with walk-in showers Queen sleeper sofa Heated bathroom floors Fully equipped kitchen Blackstone flat-top grill Air conditioning Fast WiFi + dedicated workspace Smart TV In-unit washer & dryer Pack 'n Play Walkable Ballard location Steps from the Burke-Gilman Trail Minutes from Golden Gardens Beach Easy access to downtown Seattle Come experience Ballard, Puget Sound and the Pacific Northwest from a home designed for memorable Seattle stays.
