2 Bedroom House in Sunset Hill, Seattle

On a quiet side street in Ballard, just 2.5 blocks from Puget Sound, Goldfinch House is a cheerful contemporary home with sleek Scandinavian style, abundant light and thoughtful luxury touches throughout. Filled with art and greenery, it offers a beautifully equipped chef’s kitchen, media lounge with surround sound and a serene main suite with soaking tub and private deck.
Now accepting bookings for World Cup: June 10–30.
The home sits high above the street, creating a sense of privacy and calm. Skylights and clerestory windows flood the great room with light, where a soft leather sectional, vibrant art, plants and a 65" Sony TV invite relaxed gatherings.
The chef’s kitchen is fully stocked for serious cooking, with high-end appliances, All-Clad cookware and an 11-foot granite island that's ideal for buffet dining and makes meal prep a shared experience.
The main suite is an elegant retreat with king bed, luxe linens, high ceilings, and sliding doors to a furnished deck overlooking landscaped gardens. The ensuite bath features a deep soaking tub, radiant floors, and a spacious two-person glass shower. A quiet queen bedroom and stylish guest bath complete the main level.
Downstairs, the media room features an Italian leather reclining sofa, 75" screen and surround sound. A cozy sleeping area with a queen bed and luxurious linens, plus a workstation, sits just beyond a divider stocked with Northwest books.
Outdoors, the private backyard offers a lawn, dining terrace, professional grill, and lush plantings—ideal for al fresco meals and lounging.

• 5-minute walk to the Ballard Locks and National Nordic Museum
• Easy waterfront access with a scenic promenade past Shilshole Marina to Golden Gardens Beach
• 15-minute walk to Ballard Avenue’s historic shops, chef-driven restaurants and brewery district
• 20 minutes to downtown Seattle
So close to the Sound you can smell the sea at low tide, Goldfinch House offers a stay that’s far beyond the usual—an inviting, design-forward home with concierge-style hospitality.

Summary: This was a beautiful, very well maintained house. The grounds, especially the backyard patio and landscaping are so relaxing. The kitchen was a chef's dream and well supplied. Leslie was very communicative and easily reached. Check-in was simple as was check out. The house is in the outskirts of the city and in a quiet neighborhood. I will continue to rent here as long as our son lives in Seattle. Highly recommended!
