About this home
Classic Mid-Century Architecture. Fabulous Western Light. And a house that knows how to have a little fun! Walls of glass and open living spaces create an easy, sophisticated vibe—equally suited to dinner with friends, a quiet afternoon with a book, or simply watching the evening sky. The generous kitchen is made for gathering, with plenty of room to cook, catch up and hang out, and an open connection to the dining and living rooms that keeps everyone part of the action. Step outside to the patio, or settle into the living room and watch the planes cross the western sky. The main-floor primary suite has its own balcony with lake and sunset views. Three additional bedrooms and a large office/flex room offer plenty of space for guests, work, hobbies and whatever else life brings. Hot tub & Sauna too! Outside, the easy-care yard and built-in gas fire pit make outdoor living inviting and simple. Add a 2-car garage with great storage and an exceptionally quiet First Hill setting, and you have a home that’s stylish, spacious and remarkably easy to live in. Greenbelt trails lead to Town Center shops, cafés, the Farmers Market and light rail, with I-90 just minutes away.
