About this property

Mid century modern retreat w/ expansive garden and central A/C

Make memories and unwind in this quiet retreat, tucked among the trees in a private garden at the end of a cul-de-sac. Set on a third-acre lot with more than hundred local species of plants and trees, furnished with brand-new mid-century modern furniture, 2 gas fireplaces and a large deck, this house is a great option for a family or 2 couples in search of a private respite. The house is equipped with new gas furnace, heat pump with central Air conditioning, and a tankless water heater.

Inside, discover an open layout with two gas fireplaces, a well-equipped, full kitchen, a dining area with a table with space for six, a living area with a 55" smart TV for streaming your favorite channels, a second living room to enjoy the sunset over the garden and a large desk to catch-up on work or writing.

Outside, fire up your gas grill and enjoy a summertime cookout. Lounge in the hammock or in the Adirondack chairs for some peaceful moments in the garden. For a more active time, you’re welcome to use the public tennis court located just 100 feet away from the property. The tennis court is on the grounds of Lake Forest Park Elementary school and accessible to the public during school days after 4pm, or during week-ends and school holidays. There is also a playground for your little ones and basketball courts on the school grounds, available after school hours. Take your bike and hop on the Burke Gilman Trail just 2 miles away from the house, for a scenic ride along Lake Washington shore all the way to downtown Seattle (south) or the wineries in Woodinville (north). Lake Washington also offers multiple options for kayaking or paddle boarding.

Centrally located, you'll be able to explore both the wonderful Pacific North West nature and best Seattle attractions. Many hikes, skiing and snow-shoeing available in the winter within 1.5 hour drive. Snow shoes available at house for guests’ use.

Little slice of heaven!

This property is gorgeous! The garden area is so peaceful and relaxing. Melinda came over the day we arrived to welcome us. The hosts were quick to respond to any questions that we had. The house was very clean with a light and airy feel. There are many windows and sliding glass doors which allowed for the perfect amount of natural sunlight. 10/10 recommend!

Nice stay!

We enjoyed our stay at this property! The owners were kind enough to leave us a loaf of fresh baked bread and a bottle of local wine to enjoy. What a nice surprise that was! Would book again.

Wonderful stay in fantastic location

My family and I stayed with Melinda and Christian on two different occasions during our recent trip to the Seattle area. Their home met our needs perfectly, and we appreciated their warmth in communication and accommodation. The house was well equipped, spacious, and perfect for our family of 4. Thank you! Looking forward to staying at your home again next time we are in the area!

Wonderful stay in comfortable home!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Christian and Melinda’s Lake Forest Park home. The home had an ideal layout - perfect for my family of four - and was well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed coffee by the fireplace in the mornings and appreciated its central location to many restaurants, breweries, and various locations in and around Seattle. Christian and Melinda were great hosts - made check-in and check-out a breeze, and communicated consistently with us throughout the stay to be sure we had everything we needed.We’ll certainly stay here again next time we are in Seattle! Thank you!

Short trip during winter break

It is a very neat and homey place, perfect for our family with teenagers who appreciate ample of personal space while giving lots of areas for family activities. Other than a little bit aged cabinets which are fully functional, this place is highly recommended. We can imagine our family returning for an even longer stay.

Spent days around Christmas meeting with family in the Seattle area. Hosted a small family dinner and the kitchen was well appointed. Convenient access to parks, trails, shopping and dining options. Hosts were quick to respond. Recommend for small groups of friends or family.

Lovely home

We had a wonderful stay with 6 adults and a 4 month old. There was a pack and play available which made travel much easier for us. The home is true to its pictures - well decorated and clean. The outdoor space is beautiful as well and we saw 3 deer on the property. Check in and check out instructions were clear and easy. Christian and Melinda are very communicative and quick to fix any issues.

Beautiful "Friends of 50+ years" reunion

All 4 of us have had a medical issue, and this property, and its owner, was able to accommodate our needs. Our friend, who lives 4 miles from the property, was able to come in her wheelchair and visit with us all day. Since the 4 of us have not been together since a wedding in the mid 70's, it was a beautiful reunion in a beautiful home with a gorgeous yard. Thank you.

Can’t Wait to Come Back!!

Absolutely perfect! This was such an amazing trip for my family. The house was exactly as described and we loved all of it!! So peaceful, so well kept and so comfortable! I cannot thank these hosts enough for their thoughtfulness! Couldn’t believe it when we arrived to a lovely note and bottle of wine from a local winery. PLUS, they checked in with me a couple times to make sure we had everything we needed!!! Perfection. Thank you!

Perfect Getaway

This was a great house for a family to spend time together. It’s a little older but it’s clean and the deck and gardens are to die for! The host greeted us with a bottle of Chateau Ste Michelle and it just got better from there. The host even sent an extra air conditioner when it got hot and a neighbor to help us install it. This house is a 13 minute drive to the train into Seattle and far enough north that getting to ferries to see other islands is easy. I highly recommend!

Seattle Biking Trip with Friends

The house was perfect for our Seattle area biking trip. We had pre-planned several routes that were all trails - easily reached by a short car ride. The garden area table was very pleasant after the weather warmed. There was plenty of room to easily visit. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, glasses and utensils. Five women - 60+ all agreed the house worked perfectly.

Peaceful cul-de-sac house in N. Seattle suburb

We recently completed a 6-night stay at this property. The house has all the amenities and is very spacious. The appliances all look new and work perfectly. There is a good-sized backyard all around and we enjoyed sitting at the table and watching the birds. There's plenty of privacy and being in a cul-de-sac, it's quiet and peaceful. There are 2 full very clean bathrooms and the showers were great with nice water pressure. There's a fully equipped kitchen and an Albertsons grocery store just down the road. Downtown Seattle isn't too far away and the Boeing factory and museum are about 10 miles North. Melinda and Christian are great hosts and were easy to reach and contact on the couple of occasions when we had questions, etc. Overall, our family enjoyed our stay and we would love to stay here again on our next visit.
