Set on nearly half an acre edged by 53 feet of prized west-facing shoreline, this extraordinary property captures sweeping views across Lake Washington to the Seattle skyline and Seward Park—arguably among the most breathtaking vistas on the Island. Iconic mid-century design incorporates walls of glass crowned by lofty clear cedar ceilings that frame the ever-changing panorama. Flow out from spacious gathering areas to expansive waterfront terraces. Views continue into the fireside primary suite, while a separate apartment above the main residence offers flexibility for guests, extended living, or future possibilities.
