The house is a 2-bedroom 2-bathroom 800 sq ft ADU, including access to a shared 640 sq ft community space. This is a family-friendly community, with 2 other small families living in separate homes on the 1/3 acre property. There is a shared 640 sq ft communal space for community dinners, movie nights, etc.
Located near restaurants, grocery stores, 2 bus lines and a MAX station, this small independent unit is part of two newly constructed ADUs in our backyard. The location is accessible to everything, and offers a peaceful, nature-filled place, including 7 chickens, and lots of garden beds. The homeowners live on the property.
This property offers the best of both worlds—both city and nature, both community and privacy. The unit is newly-constructed and expected to be completed in early February 2025.
All utilities are paid by the tenant. Appliances are electric, including an energy-efficient mini-split heat pump for both heating and air conditioned cooling. Dogs and cats under 25 lbs are allowed, though please note the chickens.
The ADU units will not be available for move-in until Feb or March. Rent is $1699/month. Construction is ongoing until the end of January and landscaping will take place in January and February.
