There's a desk built into the wall of this apartment. Not a nook, not a corner you could put a desk in — an actual built-in desk with a built-in wardrobe beside it, original to the building and still the best use of that wall anyone's come up with.

If you work from home, that's the difference between a one-bedroom and a one-bedroom that works.

$1,595/month. One month free. Apply by August 7, move in by August 15. Available August 10.

The quiet floor. Second of three. Nobody comes through your ceiling from the top floor, nobody's coming and going below you at the entrance. In a 1962 building with plaster and real walls, the middle floor is the one you want if you take calls.

686 square feet. Newer Fremont one-bedrooms at this rent run 535 to 600. The extra hundred-plus feet is why a desk fits without eating your living room.
Honest about the kitchen. Flooring and paint are new. The kitchen and bath are original — 1962, well maintained, and frankly more cabinet space than you'll find in anything built since. If you want quartz counters, this isn't it. If you want room, it is.

What it costs to move in

$500 security deposit, fully refundable. $45 application fee per adult 18 and over, non-refundable. Nothing else.
What you pay monthly beyond rent

Electricity through Seattle City Light, based on your usage. Water, sewer and garbage through Minol, also based on your usage — no flat fee, so a light month is a cheap month.

The building

Locked entry with intercom. On-site laundry. Reserved parking $75/month when available. Three-story walk-up, no elevator — this one's one flight.

Fremont

A few blocks off the Burke-Gilman. Walking distance to Gas Works, the Sunday Market, and more coffee than is strictly necessary.
