Enjoy plenty of ambient daytime light and fresh air from all the working windows and deck slider (including screen) on this floor. Our home is about 20 years old, so there are power outlets in convenient places in all rooms. While Ballard is an urban setting, our small yard is overflowing with greenery, trees, and bushes. If something is blossoming, we encourage our guests to cut them for display inside.
This room is also the heart of the entertainment system. The room offers seven in-ceiling speakers that will broadcast music, news, podcasts, etc. from the Bluetooth-enabled receiver. The same receiver creates surround sound for movies shown on the 65-inch television. It’s a smart TV ready to stream. Adding to the home comforts is an on-demand gas fireplace, which warms the room quickly with a thermostat-controlled fan.
Entry to the townhome is via a small driveway from the street into a carport and our front door. The path is lit by motion sensing lights. The front door includes a locking bolt and handset. Stairs take you to the second floor living area.
