Beach club membership not required. The water is yours and the afternoon changes shape. At 647 NW 51st Street, a private swimming pool turns a classic Ballard home into The Frelard Pool House, enriched by a cabana and dressing area, private guest suite, wet bar, entertaining spaces and indoor sauna. Behind the laughter, wet feet and one-more-swim afternoons, the house keeps everything grounded. Living spaces hold the daily pattern. Bedrooms give everyone a place to land.The kitchen anchors movement between living, dining and the backyard. Lower-level spaces add flexibility for guests, work, play or longer stays. The supporting spaces keep the day going. The cabana and dressing area give pool days a proper landing zone: a place to change, drop a bag, reset between swims and stay outside longer. The wet bar keeps drinks, snacks and conversation close to the action. The guest suite gives visitors a reason to stay, and the indoor sauna brings warmth and comfort into colder months. Near the meeting point of Ballard, Fremont, Phinney and Greenwood, The Frelard PoolHouse keeps restaurants, breweries, parks, errands and transit close, while giving homeits own reason to gather. A classic Seattle house with a way of living rarely found in the city.
