Loyal Heights Modern Cottage with Private Yard
7546 26th Ave NW Unit B, Seattle, WA 98117 | $624,950 | 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom | 840 SF | Street Parking
welcome home
Tucked into a quiet Loyal Heights block, this Thomas James Homes cottage offers a real backyard, mini-splits in every room, and a bath off every bedroom in a footprint where most townhomes give you stairs and an alley. Built in 2023 with the builder warranty still in effect, this attached two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home is two stories instead of three, with a private fenced patio, an additional yard area with shed, and ductless mini-splits delivering true heat and cooling in every room. Each bedroom has its own en-suite, plus a main-floor powder room. The self-managed HOA is $125/mo and covers water, sewer, and garbage. Pets are welcome and there is no rental cap. The block sits in the residential heart of Loyal Heights, with Larsen's Bakery, the Ballard Farmer's Market, Golden Gardens, and Sunset Hill Park all on easy walks. Downtown is under 20 minutes away. Light, livable, and move-in ready from day one.

NEWER CONSTRUCTION, BUILDER WARRANTY STILL IN PLACE
Built in 2023 by Thomas James Homes, this attached home is still under its original builder warranty. The systems are new, the finishes are intact, and the bones are clean. No deferred maintenance to budget around. Ductless mini-splits in every room deliver real heat AND A/C, both rare in resale Seattle homes at this price. A pre-listing inspection by Bonnie England (England Home Inspection) and a pre-listing sewer scope are in hand and clean.
THE LAYOUT (BATH-PER-BEDROOM, TWO STORIES)
Two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, plus a main-floor powder room. That layout is uncommon at this footprint and at this price. The home is two stories, not three, so there is no third-floor climb to the primary and no basement-floor entry. A roommate, partner, or visiting parent has privacy. The day-to-day is easier.
REAL OUTDOOR SPACE
A private fenced deck off the main living area, plus an additional yard area with a shed for storage. In a price band dominated by skinny three-story townhomes and condos with no usable outdoor space, this is a genuine differentiator. The dog has somewhere to be. Coffee on the porch every real morning. Outdoor space makes a house a home.
LOYAL HEIGHTS, NOT DOWNTOWN BALLARD
The block sits in a quiet, residential pocket of Loyal Heights, with cherry-blossom streets in spring, neighbors who recognize you on the walk, and downtown reachable in under 20 minutes. Larsen's Bakery is a short walk. The Ballard Farmer's Market is a Sunday tradition. Sunset Hill Park is the evening view. You get the real-neighborhood quality without trading it for living on top of NW Market.

What people are saying
SEE ALL
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Loyal Heights is the residential pocket north of Ballard that has held onto its character. Streets are quiet, lined with cherry blossoms in spring. Neighbors recognize each other on walks. The Ballard Farmer's Market is a Sunday ritual a short walk or quick drive away (insider tip from the seller: park on Shilshole between 9 and 10 AM, right after it opens). Larsen's Bakery is the Saturday-morning move. Golden Gardens Park is the morning dog walk before the bay wakes up. Sunset Hill Park is the evening view. Loyal Heights Playfield, Carkeek Park, and the Ballard Locks are minutes away. When you want more action, historic Ballard Avenue's restaurants, craft breweries, coffee shops, and boutique retail are a short walk or bike ride south. Grocery options span Town & Country, QFC, Metropolitan Market and more.
GETTING AROUND
The 40 line on 24th Ave connects you to Northgate, Crown Hill, Ballard, Fremont, South Lake Union, and Downtown Seattle easy downtown commute (Seattle reachable in under 20 minutes). Highway 99 and I-5 are quick connections north or south. Bike-friendly streets feed into the Burke-Gilman corridor. For day-to-day life without the car, the home sits in a walking-radius neighborhood where most errands, parks, and coffee runs are out the front door. For day-to-day life with the car, the access is straightforward and quick.
HOME FEATURES
A 2023 Thomas James Homes build with the original builder warranty still in effect. Two stories, two bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms in a thoughtfully laid-out footprint.

The kitchen pairs high-end appliances with quality cabinets and built-in storage. Upstairs, both bedrooms have their own en-suite bathrooms, a layout that gives a roommate, partner, or visitor genuine privacy. Ductless mini-splits in every room deliver both heat and A/C quietly and efficiently. Off the main floor, a private fenced patio opens to an additional yard area with a shed for storage. The home is an end unit, with the extra light and privacy that brings.
