The story
- Basement
Beloved family home of 60 years, nestled at the end of coveted Webster Point in Laurelhurst, set on two tax parcels. Expansive interior spaces offer varied views of Lake Washington & Mt. Rainier, coupled w/private outdoor landscapes, including a spectacular sculptural cherry tree that will make you feel you're in Kyoto. Classic mid-century elements, such as floor-to-ceiling windows, bring the outside in, framing nature & doubling room size optically. Home to an artist & a master craftsman, both figure beautifully in its history. The woodwork is exquisite, w/elegant detailing throughout, well beyond the norm. The upstairs studio is a dream workspace, flooded w/light, a picture-perfect view of lake and mountain & plenty of room to create.The kitchen is the heart of the home, w/vaulted ceilings, built-in banquette, granite island w/prep sink, & a wet bar opening to the back patio for true indoor-outdoor living. Double ovens, professional gas range, Sub-Zero fridge w/2 additional drawers, & a trove of clever built-ins (yes, a silver drawer) reward the curious. A Dutch door leads to a spacious patio & park-like yard beyond. On the second floor, a primary retreat includes a sitting area, walk-in closet, gas fireplace, & a private porch under a tree canopy. A fabulous retro rumpus room in lower-level w/original vibe. This home has a warm, nurturing feel, private and serene. Move in & enjoy as-is, or remodel to make it entirely your own. A canvas ready for the next life's work.
