SELLER PAID 2/1 BUYDOWN!! (Terms apply*) Tucked along a quiet, tree-lined stretch of 12th Ave NW, this Willow 12th residence delivers thoughtful design, outdoor living on multiple levels, and an approachable entry point into one of Ballard's most livable pockets. A private, partially covered courtyard sets the tone-ideal for morning coffee, container gardening, or an evening unwind-before stepping inside to a warm, modern interior finished with wide-plank floors, clean lines, and abundant natural light. The main level flows easily from a well-appointed kitchen with gas cooking and contemporary cabinetry through the dining area and into the living room, where oversized windows and courtyard access blur the line between inside and out. One level hosts a secondary bedroom, a full bath, and a flexible office or den-perfect for remote work, creative space, or a guest retreat. The top floor is reserved for the primary suite, offering privacy, generous proportions, and direct access to a personal balcony-your own elevated escape above the neighborhood. Comfort and efficiency are built in, with modern systems, smart storage, and dedicated parking adding everyday ease. Just blocks away, enjoy Soundview Playfield, Baker Park, Golden Gardens, and a growing mix of local dining and shopping, all while staying connected to Ballard, Crown Hill, and beyond. A home designed to feel grounded, livable, and quietly special-this is Willow 12th living in its most refined form.
