About this home

A rare opportunity to own a piece of Seattle architectural history in the heart of Wedgwood. Designed in 1948 by celebrated Seattle architects James J. Chiarelli and Paul Hayden Kirk, this distinctive Northwest Modern stunner was originally conceived as a Revere Model Home showcasing innovative postwar design with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, natural materials and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Set on an oversized, private corner lot surrounded by mature landscaping, the home still captures the vision that made it special more than 75 years ago. Walls of glass invite abundant natural light and frame the lush surroundings, while warm wood details, clean architectural lines and fantastic mid-century character establish a feeling that is timeless and wonderfully unique. A custom designed kitchen completed in 2021 brings modern functionality while complementing the original aesthetic. Generous living spaces connect effortlessly to the outdoors, creating a private retreat in one of NE Seattle’s most beloved neighborhoods. Architecturally significant, beautifully preserved and undeniably cool this is quintessential Pacific Northwest modernism in Wedgwood.
