The story
Set above Rockaway Beach Drive behind a private gated entrance, this 4.98-acre property offers a rare combination of privacy, craftsmanship, and views — the Seattle skyline unfolds to the east, changing character throughout the day. Built by Fairbank Construction, the 4,755-square-foot home includes 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, exercise room and a craft room with a view, with attention to detail evident throughout: a butler's pantry sized for a serious home cook, with room for over 600 cookbooks alongside a Sub-Zero freezer and refrigerator, and a climate-controlled wine room for those who collect with a vapor barrier and insulated door. Two fireplaces anchor the living spaces, one in Arizona sandstone, the other custom-molded stucco with indirect lighting — each a different mood for the home. Practical systems match the quality of the finishes: a heat pump for efficient year-round comfort, and a whole-home generator for peace of mind. The 2-car garage and fully fenced grounds round out a property built for both everyday living and long-term ease, with mature landscaping — including beautiful maple trees — and a gardening shed for those who like to be hands-on outdoors.
