Flirty & Fabulous

Fine dining, bakeries, grocery stores, cute shops, salons, schools, parks, gyms, bus stops, and more are all no more than half a mile away. The beautiful Homer Harris Park is practically right across the street, and you don’t have to stroll far to find more green spaces with playgrounds, peaceful benches, and perfect picnic spots. Madison Street is just 0.2 miles away, and along here you’ll find quick and easy access to Safeway, and just up the street in Capitol Hill just half a mile away you’ll find Trader Joe’s and The Central Co-Op for even more great grocery shopping. Head in the opposite direction towards the valley, and places like The Essential Bakery Cafe, LUC, Cafe Flora, Voila! Bistro, Aglio e Olio, Jae’s Asian Bistro and Sushi, Simply Soulful, City People’s Garden Store, Nishino, Belle Epicurean Bakery, and much, much more make up this charming community.

One of the major perks of Madison Valley is the prime location that makes it easy to commute both to Downtown Seattle and over to the Eastside. The #2 bus on Union Street is merely 4 blocks away, and you can take it through Capitol Hill to all of the medical facilities on First Hill and then all the way into the heart of Downtown Seattle. If you need to get to the Eastside, you’re only 5 minutes to hop on the 520 Bridge and only 7 minutes to get on the I-90 bridge.

This townhome is unique in that it’s wonderfully “socially distanced” and stands alone in a 4-unit complex. We love that all of these townhome owners seem to do a fantastic job maintaining everything, which is a big deal. Sometimes it can be scary buying in a new complex where there are more units—you never know what you’re going to get, and we see lots of townhouse complexes where things can get a bit run down because no one is maintaining anything. And of course, this affects your value. Here, the place looks better than new—the walkways are perfect and clean and everything is kept neat.

As many people have had to stay home more often than usual in recent days, many people are re-evaluating what they want in a home. In addition to wanting more indoor space, they want to live in peaceful neighborhoods with lots of green space. Not only is Madison Valley dotted with tranquil parks, but there’s also the 230-acre Washington Park Arboretum, which includes Seattle Japanese Garden. You can also head down to Madison Park Beach for swimming and sunbathing on the shores of shimmering Lake Washington. But you don’t have to leave home to get some fresh air—you’ve got a rooftop deck where you can watch Seafair festivities, entertain guests in the open air, and have barbecues all summer long.
