The story
PÆR | The Second Chapter of HJEMSTED. Taking the widest stance in a limited collection of four Scandinavian residences rising above Normandy Park — a quiet waterfront enclave on Puget Sound minutes from Seattle. West-facing views of Puget Sound and Vashon Island unfold from every level, sunsets reflected across the water each evening. Espalier pear trees, planted among the land's original orchard, frame the terrace — a nod to the site's history and namesake: Norwegian for pear. Outside, fully fenced grounds hold a fire pit and built-in BBQ — a natural gathering place, with forest trails and saltwater shoreline minutes away. Inside, 3,454 square feet hold 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths — a chef's kitchen and butler's pantry open into dining and a fireplace-lit living room, while a main-level guest suite with its own private ensuite sits alongside a closet framed for future elevator installation — built to be lived in for decades, not just for now. Upstairs, a vaulted primary suite holds a soaking tub, dual walk-in closets, and a private balcony overlooking the Sound. Built by Terrain Signature Properties, Pær continues HJEMSTED's Scandinavian vision through authentic materials, intentional light, and timeless design — the widest footprint in the collection, continuing the story Eple began.
