Sprawling Luxury
Large-Scale Entertaining Spaces. Receive your guests in the luminous main level with gracious nine-foot ceilings and walls of windows offering serene ambient outlooks to Olmsted-designed parkland and north to Portage Bay. A 220 SF elevated deck invites you to take the party outside. Every meal here is a picnic in the park! A well-equipped, light-filled chef’s kitchen, with walk-in pantry and vast island, assures efficiency. Flexible Floorplan. Versatile spaces multitask: a hobby room adjoining the primary suite easily converts to a second primary. The self-contained lower level with two spacious bedrooms, a family room, office/hobby room and private entrance could serve as a guest suite, au pair’s quarters, multiple workspaces, or an AADU. Capacious built-in storage harbors your gear and streamlines your lifestyle. Homage to Stone. L=Lavish interior use of widely sourced architectural stone – diorite, gabbro, metamorphic rock, gneiss – brings texture and shine to floors and countertops and connects the residence to the seller, a former geologist, while affirming the residence’s resemblance to an Italianate villa.
Impeccable Construction, Covetable Comforts
Massive foundational engineering cements the home to the hillside. Unlike much new construction, which tends to settle, your new home is plumb, level, and concretely anchored. Concrete and stone exterior, superbly maintained by long-term owners.

Heritage Urban Woodland
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 joggers 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 the140 tree species that flourish here. Spring wildflowers, including bleeding heart, wild ginger and enchanter’s nightshade, offer a feast for the senses. The Strange Case of the Mysteriously Tall Redwoods. Magical Interlaken is home to Seattle’s tallest redwood tree (184 ft in 2018), in a grove of redwoods planted 100 years ago above Boyer Ave. and 22nd Ave. E. These trees thrive in the damp coastal climates of Oregon and California; their healthy growth in a dry site has flummoxed arborists.
Seamlessly Connected
When you choose to work from the office, enjoy a swift and hassle-free commute to the major technology companies, pillars of Seattle’s affluence, and to UW, home of the sixth-ranked Computer Science program in the country and robust feeder for local tech entrepreneurship.
