About this home

Spectacular Seattle skyline views, alive with ferries, sailboats and city lights, fill walls of windows and take your breath away on the vast 2nd-story Ipe deck. Expanded and comprehensively modernized during 22 years of ownership, it pairs uncompromising craftsmanship and thoughtfully updated systems while preserving the Tudor/Craftsman architecture on coveted Palm Ave. The enchanting entry garden offers privacy from the street, with waterfall & graceful slate path leading to a sunny patio & arched front door. Inside, Barrel-vaulted ceilings, arched openings, leaded-glass windows, hydronic radiant heat, hardwoods, and Arts & Crafts tiled fireplace, perhaps Batchelder, live alongside double-pane wood windows, a standing-seam metal roof, updated electrical & plumbing, newer side sewer, two solar arrays, plus so much more. The open floor plan flows perfectly for entertaining arriving at a chef's kitchen, designed to enjoy the view, equipped with Bosch & Sub-Zero, & framed by a live-edge breakfast bar. Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite enjoys a fireplace, spa bath with soaking tub, & walk-in closet. Huge lower level, w/separate entry, adds a family room, office, flex space plumbed for a 2nd kitchen, and bath. 2018 garage is 220A / EV wired. An additional 5,291 sq. ft. lot extending down to Ferry Avenue SW is included.
