2 Bedrooms and one bath are on the main level, with the kitchen, breakfast counter and dining room lighted by clerestory windows.  This home was built in 1918, redone in 1945, and has been well cared for.

In the 80′s the basement was converted to a recording studio. Isolation booths, wall treatments of egg crate foam rubber and sound isolated ceilings are some of the features, along with full internal wiring for recording.

This home is located in the town of Index, WA, along

Sound Booth

Hwy 2, between Stevens Pass and Monroe. Index Blog Mountain views are included, and proximity to recreational activities like hiking, skiing, river water sports and climbing add to its charm.  From the front porch, you can see climbers on the town’s climbing wall, and from the backyard, Mt Index is majestic to the south.  Leaving the home toward town one can also see Mt. Persis, Gunn & Merchant peaks.  The town is surrounded by mountains, and is also near the Skykomish river where there are recreation opportunities within walking distance of the home.

 

Mt Index

Rhodies in the spring time are a wonderful display of color–mature plantings and fruit trees in the yard.  Between the house and gardening shed are stairs leading up to the house, as well as down to the basement studio, or the terraced backyard/patio.  It’s a shy quarter acre of peaceful mountain home.  $199,950

Fremont — A state of mind

Fremont.
Any trip to Seattle deserves an excursion to Fremont The self proclaimed Center Of The Universe(vers,ers,rs). Just thumb through these pictures or follow these links to get only a glimpse of this funky, eclectic, eccentric borough of Seattle or just use a map and find your own way to and through.

Fremont The Chamber of commerce site
A map of (note the intersection of N 36th and N 34th which in some galaxies would be im-possible … Not here!

(ok so a closer view shows N 36th merges into Fremont Ave N, but where more appropriate for a tesseract than here) in Fremont!

Dusty strings–
Along Fremont avenue you will find a stairwell and signs pointing to Dusty Strings, if you like American folk instruments Do Not miss this. In business since the 1970s they are manufacturers of fine folk harps, hammer and mountain dulcimers, and they have one of the most playable guitar walls I have ever seen Martin, Taylor, and Collings, to name a few

The solstice parade –
Every year on the Saturday of the solstice week a mini Mardis Gras takes place. Inventive irreverent, (body painted bicyclers are a regular attraction), expression for the eccentric, happens here.

Fantastic eclectic food–
Some of the great grubb in town is found here also, Jai Tai, Costas Opa, Café Lladro, to the south across the bridge to the Nickerson Street Saloon or Ponti (bring your gold card) or venture north up the hill to Swingside Café (a quaint name for one of the Finest Rotating menus in Seattle)

 

 

 

Antiques and Arts–
Fremont is Funky Urban Art, and many artists and galleries flourish here and intermix with the charm of a settlement grown from an 1880s milltown to an artists enclave in the 1920s to the present, reflected in the antique shops scattered about. Monuments from Rocketships to Trolls and Karl Marx in-between, the sign post to the Center Of The Universe, and stainless steel vines climb a building at the corner of 34th and Fremont.
I think my favorite link to Fremont is this last , an historical document of great civic importance, its Declaration of Independence.
