Sweeping Views of Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains

Brilliant late mid-century modernist architecture and bespoke craftsmanship define this stunning home in the highly coveted Laurelhurst neighborhood. Noted Seattle architect Gene Zema was commissioned by a family to design this one-of-a-kind residence and that same family has lovingly maintained the home to this day. The home’s location is ideal for dedicated urbanites who also treasure iconic views of the Pacific Northwest’s natural beauty. Situated on one of the highest points in Laurelhurst, the property sits on a quiet residential street with verdant landscaping and stylishly distinctive homes. Sweeping views of Lake Washington and the distant Cascade Mountains are featured. The home sits raised above street level to maximize its unforgettable panoramas. With its enviable location, residents are automatically in the catchment zone for membership at the Laurelhurst Beach Club.

The architect was renowned for his creative use of wood in the design of his structures. Refined wood siding on the home’s exterior that has been recently re-stained reflects this preference and helps signify that this is a work from Zema. Steps lead upwards to the home’s spacious front porch with defined seating area. A picturesque spot for enjoying relaxing afternoons, the porch o ers particularly eye-catching views of the lake and mountains. Wood slats help produce a more private section for enjoyment of the porch.
