About this home

Rare one-level living with panoramic Puget Sound and Olympic views and your own private beach - this must be the place! The midcentury wow-factor is in full effect at this custom architect-designed home, featuring vaulted cedar ceilings and walls of West-facing windows framing water, mountains, and islands. Main floor lives entirely on one level with step-free access from the carport. A NW Contemporary work of art carefully improved yet maintaining its character: A basalt fireplace anchors the open living space- one of three gas fireplaces- while an expansive home-spanning deck and sheltered garden patio offer seamless indoor-outdoor living. Updates include stunning new main floor bathrooms, motorized shades on all West-facing windows, hardwood flooring, and a heat pump for A/C. Ride the elevator down to the ADU with 2nd kitchen, full bath, sunroom, separate exterior entrance, and parking spot - excellent for guest quarters, office, independent living unit, or rentable income. Could convert laundry room to office/4th bed. Outdoors, enjoy a 1/4 acre+ of professionally landscaped, terraced spaces for sunset viewing, gardening, and cocktail hours. 2000sf lower yard could be opened up and leveled. CC&Rs allow trees to be trimmed to protect your views. Ensconced in the serene 16-home waterfront community of Seahurst West, an easy walk down a quiet lane to the private beach. Minutes to Olde Burien's excellent restaurants, PCC groceries, an easy commute to Seattle… and a world away.
