We are a middle-aged couple who are lucky enough to have a 4-month sabbatical beginning April, 2020. Mike (58) is the head of an independent school and Ellen (58) is a clinical social worker (who is taking some time off at the moment). We have 3 young adult children (ages 29, 27, and 22) whom we hope might join us for a visit (with or without their partners) at some point during our sabbatical. Our daughter is preparing to move from Thailand to Montreal, Canada, to start a new job with an environmental non-profit. We have two sons, one of whom currently teaches high school science here in Seattle, and one who is a senior in college (in Colorado). We also have a very sweet, gentle dog rescued from Tehran (at least that`s what we were told!) named Cora (whom we anticipate will stay elsewhere during our sabbatical).

Beschrijving van het huis dat wij aanbieden voor ruil
We recently completed an extensive remodel of our 1911 Craftsman home. There is an open floor plan, brand-new kitchen and bathroom appliances, and new windows and doors (and a skylight) that contribute to a sense of spaciousness and light. Our home has three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a beautiful deck, just off the kitchen, with great territorial views toward Capitol Hill and the University of Washington. By Seattle standards, our house is easily accessible (though not wheelchair accessible). The main living room, dining room, kitchen, powder room, and master bedroom suite (including a full bath and laundry) are located on the first floor. The lower level includes a large family room with television, an office area, two bedrooms and a full bath.

Beschrijving van onze buurt en omgeving
Our home is located in a very sought-after, central Seattle neighborhood called Madrona. We live a mile from Capitol Hill and the Washington Arboretum, 2.5 miles from Pike Place Market and the University of Washington, and three miles from Seattle Center (the Space Needle)--all very walkable and easily accessible via bus. We live on the top of the hill above Lake Washington--10 blocks from beautiful Madrona beach (a lovely walk via wooded trails and pathways) and a three-minute walk from Madrona Center, home to numerous shops and restaurants. Despite being in such a central location, the neighborhood is very green and quiet, with numerous parks and walking paths.

Onze tips voor leuke activiteiten en uitjes bij ons in de buurt
We live only 2 1/2 blocks from charming Madrona village, which has several restaurants, spas, boutique shops, and a locally-famous glass blowing studio. Madrona also has a great playground for kids, a library, and public tennis courts.
Wat we graag willen of wat juist niet...
We assume we can discuss any particularities--expectations and "rules"--as part of a broader conversation about the exchange.
