About this home

Designed by renowned architect Edwin Ivey and meticulously restored, this exceptional Washington Park residence is a rare blend of historic roots and modern refinement.  Every detail has been made with intention preserving the home's distinguished character.  Beautifully proportioned windows bathe the traditional floor plan in natural light, revealing the refined craftsmanship that defines each room. The bespoke kitchen is a showpiece: premium appliances, leaded glass cabinetry, and custom finishes integrated to provide balance, symmetry, and function.  Upstairs, four bedrooms and three bathrooms offer a gracious private retreat, while the spacious lower level provides flexibility including a guest bedroom with en-suite bath, a large family room, and a well-appointed laundry.  All-new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and furnace systems, along with fully renovated bathrooms throughout, ensure the home performs as beautifully as it looks.  Outside, mature landscaping complements the home’s architecture and creates a picturesque setting.  Views of Lake Washington, Mt. Rainier, and the Cascade Mountains lend a distinctive sense of place and connection to the surrounding landscape.  A rare opportunity to steward a classic, traditional Washington Park residence where historic integrity, modern infrastructure, and timeless design converge.
