Hospitable Haven
Covetable Privacy. Luxuriate in the seclusion granted by this five-home enclave nestled into an untamed green space. Your home presides over an expansive lot studded with stately conifers – a park within a park – and seasonal active views of nautical traffic in Portage Bay. In the spring and summer, the greenery creates a serene protective bower.
Entertainer’s Fantasy. Gather friends and family for a casual meal or host a large-scale holiday party or charity gala in the sprawling living area open to the chef’s kitchen with inviting quartz-topped island and peninsula. As they mingle on the adjoining deck, your guests will marvel at the lush surroundings and the twinkling lights of Montlake below. The driveway provides guest parking for two cars and the boulevard above can accommodate any number of vehicles.
Vast, Romantic Owner’s Suite. Ascend to the top of the home and enter a magical private universe where everything has been arranged for your comfort and delight. Rest and recharge in the sizeable sleeping area; house your wardrobe in the ample dressing room; conveniently work from home in the adjacent office. Enjoy dazzling light and endless views from the surprising solarium, which doubles as a second workspace.
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 the 140 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.
Site-Specific Postmodern Architecture
The home’s traditional façade with gabled portico pays whimsical homage to the celebrated Queen Anne architectural style as it evolved in Seattle. On entering prepare to be astonished by the contrasting interior, in which classic features combine with sharp angles and planes, designed to leverage the natural beauty of the setting and optimize the dramatically sloping site. The innovative floorplan boosts the living area and owner’s suite for maximum light and views.
