Above, soaring ceilings with exposed trusswork and a wall of windows create a sense of volume and openness, drawing in soft natural light and framing leafy neighborhood views. The kitchen is centered around a generous island and flows seamlessly into the dining and living areas, creating an ideal environment for gathering and connection. Just beyond, a deck extends the living space outdoors, offering an easy transition for dining and relaxation. An outdoor heating element allows for comfortable cold weather enjoyment making the space usable year-round.
A second room off the main living area functions flexibly as a bedroom or office, where a contemporary glass wall preserves openness while offering separation. A nearby three-quarter bath is finished in cool blue tilework, adding a subtle layer of color and character.
Off the upper landing, the primary bedroom continues the architectural rhythm with open trusses and skylights, bringing in light from above and enhancing the sense of calm. Double closets offer plentiful storage. The ensuite bath is compact yet refined, finished in warm tile with a walk-in shower, Toto Washlet, a beautifully integrated Japanese soaking tub, and concealable stackable washer and dryer.
The lower-level accessory dwelling is ideal for extended living or long or short term rental and can be accessed through both a separate entrance and the upper level. The generously composed space maintains the same sense of light and airiness found above. A galley kitchen with clean white cabinetry and cheerful tilework is anchored by a glass door that brings in natural light and provides access to a private, outdoor patio. Neutral concrete floors run throughout, while the living and dining area are enhanced by a built-in window seat that offers a quiet place to take in views of the garden and also features additional storage. The bedroom is generously sized, and the three-quarter bath features a walk-in shower and integrated storage, finished in crisp white tile. An in unit washer and dryer adds everyday convenience.
Outdoors, the property is enclosed by a gabion wall—constructed of stone and steel mesh—wrapping the home in a boundary that feels both architectural and organic. The effect is one of privacy without heaviness, allowing light and air to pass through while remaining in quiet dialogue with the surrounding landscape. The yard is designed for low-maintenance living, with wood chip ground cover and raised garden beds that offer space for planting while preserving the home’s clean, natural aesthetic. An attached garage with additional storage room offers space for parking and organization. A thoughtful and contemporary compound reflective of a modern, in-city lifestyle in one of Seattle’s best residential neighborhoods.
