The story
- Basement
Treehouse living, Columbia City edition. On a terraced lot above Genesee Park, this contemporary home rises three levels into a canopy of big-leaf maples, with a deck on every floor & the park’s playfields spread out below. In fall, the leaves go gold right outside the windows. In summer, they’re your shade. The main floor gathers around a gas fireplace, with oak hardwoods, expansive windows & sliders out to the west-facing deck. A designer-grade brass light fixture hangs over the dining table & the kitchen presents warm rather than white: maple cabinetry, a gas range & a live-edge bar for whoever’s keeping the chef company. A breakfast nook adds a second eating location & more storage. The bedrooms sit highest in the canopy. Twin skylights brighten the landing, vaulted ceilings top all three rooms & the primary opens to its own balcony, with a walk-in closet & a skylit bath with dual vanity & walk-in shower. On the lower level, the daylight family room steps out to a covered deck, with a full bath close by for guests. Heat pump with central A/C, a mini-split downstairs & an attached two-car garage off a quiet dead-end drive. Then there’s the neighborhood. Genesee Park’s off-leash area & turf fields are a short walk, Lake Washington Blvd carries you to Seward Park & Columbia City has Geraldine’s Counter for breakfast, Super Six for dinner & light rail for everything else.
