8313 E 12th Avenue NW

Welcome to Willow by Shelter Homes, a community giving a classic twist on modern building. Brick facades and black-framed windows line every home offering a real Seattle street presence. Inside, light oak-tone plank floors run the length of an open main level filled with light from transom and clerestory windows. The kitchen anchors one end with quality stainless steel appliances including a full cooking range—all under warranty for bonus peace-of-mind. Slab quartz counters and a glossy tile backsplash surround the kitchen for an elevated modern appeal. At the other end, a slider opens the living room to a paver patio leading to the community courtyard— this is easy indoor-outdoor living. Ductless mini-splits serve all floors, offering complete climate control on every level. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a full bath and a dedicated laundry room. The top-floor primary suite is a true retreat: vaulted ceiling, walk-in closet with built-ins, and a spa bath with freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed shower and double vanity. One more flight up, the roof deck is ready for long summer evenings above the treetops. Minutes to the cafes, shops and transit along NW 85th St and 15th Ave NW, plus Ballard’s Market St, Golden Gardens and Carkeek Park.
