Dreams of yesteryear’s elegant simplicity live on in this story book location—your secluded slice of nature in the city. A residence within a park, your peaceful retreat lies on the edge of the 230-acre Washington Park Arboretum and steps from Interlaken Park for exquisite forest bathing in your own backyard.
Stroll through the formal dining room into the kitchen to concoct the perfect martini, taking in the rainbow array of early Seattle tilework, before stepping out the Dutch door to unwind with the calm, melodic trilling of birdsong on your private covered patio. When the mood strikes, heed the call of the backyard bonfire and enjoy your fine collection of Cubans with colleagues. As nighttime beckons you indoors, reach for your robe, slippers and a captivating book to read in front of the grand main floor fireplace. Or retreat upstairs to curl up with your sweetheart in the warm ambiance of a second fireplace from the comfort of bed.

Stewardship of the Land. Born out of Assistant City Engineer George Cotterill’s 1890s plan for a 25-mile system of bicycle paths around the nascent city, 51.7-acre Interlaken Park, a ribbon of hills and ravines on Capitol Hill’s north slope, took shape in the first blueprint that John Charles Olmsted presented to Seattle in 1903.
Restorative Green Space. Hikers, bikers and runners have long benefited from the peace and privacy of this wildest of Seattle’s Olmsted parks. Barred owls and Cooper’s hawks can be spotted among the 140 tree species that flourish here. Spring wildflowers, including bleeding heart, wild ginger and enchanter’s nightshade offer a feast for the senses.
Find Respite in Rhododendron Glen. Peer out the window to catch a glimpse of the Arboretum’s historical Rhododendron Glen. One of the park’s first collections, plantings date back to the 1930s. With their attractive foliage and unique forms, the garden is a delight year round, but especially showy in late spring.

A Craftsman’s Canvas
This park side residence is a craftsman’s canvas. Erected in 1924 by tile contractor Max M. Stoeckert, the hand-crafted, polychrome tilework across the entry, kitchen and bathrooms adds sparkle and romance to this day. Stoeckert opened University Brick & Tile Company on East 40th Street in Seattle’s University District in 1919 and received press for his work on several Seattle homes. Max and wife Mary eventually sold to an up and coming Seattle attorney Army Seijas and his wife Betty in 1939.
Equestrians who went on establish Overlake Farm in Bellevue where they trained and raced horses, the Seijas family owned the home for 73 years. In 2012, their daughter Betty conveyed 2616 E Interlaken to its current owners.
In 1939, a classified ad in the Seattle Daily Times revealed the role of University Brick & Tile in the building of this home:
“Fringed with trees that lend a Sylvan touch to a city home. Utility with charm; convenience with capacity point the HIGHLIGHTS of this attractive residence on a quiet blvd. 3 bedrooms up, one a meter with fireplace; maid’s room in basement; large living room, super tiled kitchen, tiled plumbing first floor, full tiled bath up. If you are fastidious and particular, see this today.”
