About this home
Expansive mid-century home on Lake Washington is the spot for watching the sky or fishing from every window. The architect studied under Walter Gropius, and it is built for entertaining. All new roof, interior finishes, lined sewer connection and boat lift below house. Floor to (high) ceiling doors open to panoramic views over the lake. Secret room. EV car charger. Office loft. From the kitchen and into the dining area, you would think you were far out over the lake itself-which indeed you are. This exceptional 3,730 square feet custom home features 4 bedrooms, 2.75 bathrooms, and 50 feet of deeded lakefront. The capacious primary suite occupies an entire wing of the second floor and includes a bay window sitting area, a five-piece bath with jetted tub, and a walk-in closet. Distinctive architectural details include exposed beam construction, floating stairs, skylights that fill the home with natural light, vaulted ceilings, a sandstone hearth with built-in benches, and custom bookcases. Opportunities like this don’t come often—make this remarkable property yours today.
