A once-in-a-generation offering— where French Norman romance and modernism coexist in perfect balance, through a masterful three million dollar renovation by Chadbourne + Doss Architects and featured in the New York Times and Dwell. Set on one of Seattle’s most prestigious avenues, distinguished by a graceful row of historic estates, this North Capitol Hill residence spans over half an acre of lush, secluded grounds. Set back from the street and enveloped by greenery, absolute privacy surrounds every corner. In a brilliant architectural gesture, a glass-wrapped modern addition is seamlessly joined to the original estate, its luminous living spaces unified through a continued palette of mahogany and walnut, marble, and blackened steel. The dialogue between old and new feels effortless - not juxtaposed but harmonized - making it livable and approachable for modern life. The chef’s kitchen features a dramatic window lined with walnut and metal floating shelves. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls open to a heated patio and backyard, for indoor to outdoor living. Parklike grounds include sculptural gardens, guest cottage and a potting shed reimagined as a bar beside a twenty-foot Tuscan table under a metal pergola. The private glass-enclosed primary suite, crowned by a green roof, opens to a heated covered patio and offers a fireplace-warmed dressing room and stunning bath. Steps to Volunteer Park, minutes to downtown/ South Lake Union and Lake Union, and close to celebrated dining. A rare sanctuary in the heart of the city.
