4000 Southwest Myrtle Street

Perched at the end of a private Gatewood cul-de-sac, this captivating mid-century home captures sweeping Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain views, with ferries, sailboats, and golden sunsets framed from nearly every room. A vaulted cedar ceiling and walls of glass define the light-filled living room, anchored by a stone wood-burning fireplace and warmed by oak hardwood floors across the main level.The updated kitchen features quartz counters, [high-end stainless appliances], and a butcher-block island, flowing into a formal dining room where sliding glass doors open to an expansive view deck. A second deck just off the kitchen is built for summer barbecues and evening light. The primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath and custom closet system, while two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath complete the main level. Downstairs, a separate-entrance suite with a full bath and its own view rec room offers instant flexibility as guest quarters, a home office, or a head start toward a permitted ADU, with sewer capacity already in place. A flexible bonus room and generous storage round out the lower level.Outside, professionally landscaped grounds feature more than 750 curated plants, raised garden beds, a hot tub, and a Rachio smart-irrigation system for effortless upkeep. Solar panels, a full seismic retrofit, and a detached two-car garage add lasting value, all minutes from Caffé Ladro, California Avenue shops, Lincoln Park, and the water.
