LOCATION

Situated in between outdoor amenities and city convenience, from here it’s easy to access everything from parks and gardens to shopping and transit. Aurora Ave N is only a 3-minute drive away, and here you’ll find places like Safeway, LA Fitness, JOANN Fabrics & Crafts, PetSmart, Lowe’s, and several other shops, eateries, and services all no more than a 5-minute drive away. Additionally, Shoreline Community College (4 min), Northgate Mall (6 min), and Downtown Seattle (18 min) are all easily accessible from here as well!

COMMUTE

For those who need to head into Downtown Seattle or South Lake Union for work, this particular location presents several great commuting options. Highway 99 is just 3 minutes from home and Interstate-5 is only 5 minutes away, giving you a couple of easy options to zip right into the heart of Downtown. The #21 bus picks up right around the corner on Greenwood Avenue and takes you straight to 3rd Ave in Downtown Seattle, and the Light Rail Station coming to Northgate in 2021 presents another commuting opportunity. This future Light Rail Stop is only a 7-minute drive from home, giving you a fantastic way to bypass any traffic (plus, imagine being able to hop on the Light Rail all the way to Seatac Airport!). You’re also only 0.3 miles from the Interurban Trail for all you bike connoisseurs.

FRESH & UPDATED

Built in 1949, this home-sweet-home shows off a long list of smart & stylish upgrades that ensures it’s ready to take on the future! Not only have both of the bathrooms been completely transformed, but you’ll also find new kitchen counters, new light fixtures, new paint, a new water heater, a new furnace, new landscaping, a newer roof, double pane vinyl windows, and refinished hardwood floors all in the mix.

OUTDOOR BEAUTY

Nestled on 0.25 acres, this property offers plenty of outdoor space for you to cultivate and call your own—the flat yard offers a park-like setting where you can create the ultimate getaway! Let pets and little ones play in the lush backyard to their heart’s content, and grow fresh fruits and veggies in your urban garden. You’re also just minutes to local outdoor destinations, making it easy to enjoy the fresh air and stay active. The Elisabeth Carey Miller Botanical Garden is just 0.6 miles away, and just beyond that you’ll find the Seattle Golf Club. There are also several other smaller parks in the area, but the incredible 220-acre Carkeek Park along the shoreline is a definite standout. This huge park includes a beach, hiking trails, picnic shelters, a playground, an orchard, and plenty of parking within the park.

What people are saying

SEE ALL

“Having bought and sold several homes, I can honestly say Matt and his team are the best in the business! Matt is knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly organized. After we moved out of state, he handled everything — from new carpets and painting to cleaning and staging. The whole process was seamless, and working with Matt and his team remotely was completely stress-free. Thank you so much for making it so easy!”

Sold a home in 2025 in Queen Anne, Seattle

“We've worked with Matt twice now (both times very successfully) and honestly wouldn't go to anyone else. This time around we got to work with the whole team - everyone is so great and they all go above and beyond. GHAH just makes the whole thing so much easier and Matt keeps it so real. From day one they actually listened to what we wanted and what our budget was, but kept our expectations inline with what was realistic. It feels like working with someone who is genuinely on our side. They're incredibly organized and communicative too. Appointments were always smooth, they do all the scheduling with other companies as needed, we always knew what was happening next, and we never had to wonder where things stood. That kind of hand-holding (in the best way) makes a huge difference when the process can feel so overwhelming. We're also using Happy at Home Contracting - equally amazing! Medardo and team are top tier. Truly cannot say enough good things about Matt and the GHAH team!”
