Arrival is deliberate. Curved stone walls guide the approach, iconic bowing columns mark the threshold, and the home reveals itself gradually — restrained, confident, and deeply grounded in its site.
The home itself is a true mid-century rambler, distinguished by its rare single-level living. With level entry, a two-car garage, and a seamless indoor-outdoor connection, it offers a layout that is nearly impossible to find in Laurelhurst today.
Now, for the first time in a Half-Century, it is available — offering a rare opportunity to step into a home of architectural significance, extraordinary land, and lasting presence in one of Seattle’s most coveted neighborhoods.
The moody entry welcomes you and is understated for the home and property.

This view is exceptional and the property is private. Something you just don't find in the city or in Laurelhust.
A stately Madrona tree anchors Mount Rainier. Eagles land in this tree and you can watch them soar right in front of you.

The gourmet kitchen was extensively remodeled in 2007 by Gaspar Construction. It was designed with forward thinking using glass, steel and quartz for the counters and bamboo for the cabinets to mimic the mid century modern design and asian inspiration.
Miele appliances, a induction oven and a rare steam oven are just a few of the special features.
Room for freinds and family to eat and the bar or sit in the breakfast nook that looks out to the front garden.

Set on an extraordinary lot, totalling over 34,000 square feet, This distinguished property offers a scale and privacy that are increasingly rare. Elevated above Lake Washington with sweeping views to Mount Rainier, it feels both expansive and secluded.
