About this home
Iconic Northwest Contemporary. Perched in one of Seattle's most coveted neighborhoods, this breathtaking view home is a rare architectural legacy. Designed, and built as his personal residence by celebrated PNW architect Wendell Lovett, this property embodies the purest expression of mid-century modern philosophy: a seamless dialogue between structure, landscape, and daily living. Spanning 4,060 square feet, the home lives like a three-story mid-century modern retreat, offering 4 beds and 3.5 baths with a layout that balances openness and privacy. Clean post-and-beam lines, warm wood tones, and floor-to-ceiling windows across all three levels flood the interiors with natural light while framing serene Lake Washington, Cascade and Rainier Mountain views and lush surroundings. Extensive upgrades include floor-to-ceiling sliding windows, custom walnut cabinets throughout and a master chef's kitchen with stainless countertops, eat-at cooking island and top-end appliances. Primary suite upgrades include spa shower with walkout to soaking tub on deck. An easy stroll to Madrona's shops, restaurants and parks, 10-minute drive to downtown and 20 minutes to Seatac or Bellevue. This is truly a one-of-a-kind home combining style, luxury, privacy with extraordinary architecture and views.
