Yes, we've dreamed up another great way to raise funds for the Ballard Food Bank. Gloria Jackson, an extraordinary cook and great fellow realtor, wanted to do a small appetizer cookbook, something thoughtful featuring organic farmer's market produce, perhaps something seasonal. We've taken that concept and run with it, and hope to be hosting a competition of some of the best Spring and Summer...
Gardens
We are all sun lovers to some degree, and as Spring begins to blossom I always feel the desire to spend more time outside. This photo is from an East Ballard home we listed and sold last summer that had a delightful deck with hot tub in the backyard. The old tree created a canopy for shade and privacy that made this space so very inviting. Having a tree, or swooping strings of garden lights, makes a fake...
Care to take in the view with me? Today from 1:00-3:00 we will be on the Broker's Tour in Blue Ridge. Boasting Olympic Mountain & Puget Sound views, sitting on a half-acre +/-, and very private, really quite private, this home is a lifestyle purchase. For more info, price, address, and other specifics, please contact your realtor or me and we will be happy to make arrangements and...
Few properties have that sophisticated vibe of being a stand out home, secluded in a quiet garden, but my new North Beach listing really does feel like a home in the trees. Originally built as a 1950's ranch it was redesigned by a local architect working with my seller to open it up and to create ambiance between the indoors and outdoors. Throughout the day there you will see that rooms are filled...
Love garages? Me too! Here in Seattle garages are so desirable for lots of reasons. Cars top the list of why you'd want to have one, but many of the in-city garages we see when touring homes for sale have taken on second lives, such as garden sheds, workshops, yoga studios, home offices and so on and so forth. Want to make yours better? You can improve the space by adding a window or...
This new listing is a wonderful renovation of an original 1940's Cape Cod home in Loyal Heights that was remodeled with style and pizzazz. The efficient layout has three bedrooms nestled together with a handsome updated bath. The open layout of the Living Room, Dining Area and gorgeous Kitchen make it fun to spend time hanging around and visiting with friends. When it comes to dream kitchens, we've...
As we enter official "summer season" in Seattle, sales are heating up and buyers are impressed with garden spaces, decks & terraces now more than ever. In the winter months we tend to find comfort in cozy fireplaces, kitchen nooks and interior spots that create retreats from the winter storms and rainy, windy weather. This time of year, having just celebrated the Summer Solstice, we adore fire...
Everything we bring to the garden, the patio, or the deck, says a little bit about who we are and how we like to present our homes. As a realtor, I am always emphasizing that first impressions are key to being the best home on the market. How your outdoor spaces look is something everyone can focus on before they list their home, or just to enjoy as a home owner or renter. Spring is a wonderful time...
