Unicorn, anyone? Welcome to Garden House; the townhome with a 'real house' layout. Set back from the street behind a lush front garden, enter on the main floor (not a dead entry with stairs to haul your groceries up). Superb indoor-outdoor flow, great light, high ceilings and no neighbors' walls out your windows. You also have direct back-door access to your parking spot for those groceries. More Unicorn-y? All three bedrooms are full-sized and tucked upstairs where you want them. The big, full-floor primary suite opens onto a roomy private deck. But there's also hallway access to that deck, so if you want friends to join for a summer's eve chat in the treetops, they won't have to traipse through your bedroom to get there. Those familiar with Seattle townhomes will recognize that all these details conspire to create a rare offering: a home that feels great and lives right.

All this is tucked into a quiet, clean pocket neighborhood in the best part of Ballard, 3 blocks from the hippest, most fun stuff the area has to offer. Walk easily to restaurants and shops galore, movies at the historic Majestic Bay and of course, the famous Ballard Farmers Market.
