400 Boylston Ave E

Charming, light-filled ground floor 1 bed / 1 bath condo with lots of storage in leafy yet extremely convenient location available for rent in early August. Gorgeous 1931 building was built well: unit is cool in summer, warm in winter, and you don't hear much from neighbors. Small bedroom but possible to fit a queen sized bed. New top-down, bottom-up blackout blinds to keep it quiet and cool. It has a lovely garden courtyard, bike room, laundry room with giant laundry sink and table for folding, and storage locker just down the hall. Responsive queer landlord (me) plus on-site property manager. Close to everything - grocery store, library, shopping and transportation all within 2 (flat) blocks. Historic neighborhood with parks for walking and running. Short walk to Light Rail station for quick access to downtown, SeaTac Airport, University of Washington, stadiums, and other parts of the city. This unit does not have a parking space. Nearby garages provide monthly parking options. Building access includes some stairs. Cats allowed with a $300 fee. Video tour by previous tenant available upon request. Combined utility fee (water/sewer, garbage and electricity) $125 per month. You pay for phone/internet. No smoking on the premises including courtyard. Max 2 people. First month's rent will be due upon signing the lease. You can pay the last month's rent and pet fee (if applicable) at signing and security deposit when you get the keys OR choose to spread out the sum of last month, security deposit, and pet fee in six equal and consecutive monthly payments. Tenant must abide by condo house rules, including quiet time between 10pm and 8am. Screening criteria: credit score at least 680, no previous evictions and positive rental references. I accept reusable tenant screening reports. Preference given to someone who can take occupancy on or around 8/8/25. (A few days before that might be possible!)
