About this home

A canvas of uncommon scale and significance in the heart of Washington Park. Set on a premier lot with sweeping, unobstructed views of Lake Washington, Bellevue, and the Cascades. Vistas rarely found, and almost never offered. Whether you choose to restore the 1923 residence, defined by soaring ceiling heights, original character, and beautifully sited rooms, or envision a legacy estate from the ground up, this property delivers the setting to do something extraordinary. The existing home offers a gracious footprint with light-filled spaces, sophisticated fireplaces anchoring common rooms, and a wood-paneled library that speaks to a bygone era. Mature landscaping surrounds the property, framing the spectacular views, and creating privacy, serenity, and alas, a sense of arrival. This is more than a home; it’s an opportunity to steward a generational property in one of Seattle’s most iconic neighborhoods. Renovate, reimagine, or rebuild; whatever your vision, the backdrop is unparalleled.
