A rare 2-bedroom condo in the heart of Ballard—priced under $450K! This south-facing end unit in a boutique building is filled with natural light and offers views of Mt. Rainier. Enjoy all the perks of Ballard living without the hustle and bustle. A quaint neighborhood park on 14th Ave NW keeps traffic to a minimum. In Spring, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, take a breather on one of the benches and absorb the natural beauty! Shops, restaurants, farmers markets, cafés, gyms, the Ballard Library, the Locks, and more—all just moments from your front door. Nearby public transportation makes commuting a breeze, whether you’re headed to work or one of the area’s highly sought-after schools. Inside, thoughtful features add to the sunny vibe: an oversized in-unit utility room with washer and dryer provides ample storage, while the spacious walk-in closet in the primary bedroom adds even more efficiency. A functional, bright kitchen with great cabinet space is just off a lovely dining space giving ease and flow. Garage parking, no rental cap, and a well-managed HOA complete this exceptional gem.
