Welcome to Canal Station North. This rare 2-bed + den, 2-bath residence is perfectly positioned in the heart of Ballard—just steps from top-rated coffee, dining, boutique shopping, the Sunday Farmers Market, and Golden Gardens. Perched on the 5th floor, this light-filled home showcases the community’s largest floor plan with just one shared wall, expansive northeast-facing windows, and two private balconies for effortless indoor-outdoor living. An open-plan living area flows beautifully into the dining space and a sleek island kitchen with bar-top seating, featuring honed granite countertops, shaker-style cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances—ideal for entertaining or everyday ease. The primary suite is a serene retreat with a spa-inspired five-piece ensuite bath, while the second bedroom is thoughtfully outfitted with a Murphy bed, making it equally suited as a guest room or flex space. Both bedrooms offer walk-in closets, complemented by ample additional storage throughout the home. The versatile den functions perfectly as a home office or third non-conforming bedroom. Recent updates include fresh interior paint, new carpet, and custom blinds. Everyday convenience is elevated with an in-unit washer/dryer, two side-by-side secure garage parking spaces near the elevators, and an 85sf storage unit. Additional highlights include a strong HOA, no rental cap (90-day minimum), resort-style amenities, and an exceptional Walk Score of 97—delivering the best of Ballard living.
