Property Description

Views define this thoughtfully designed North Capitol Hill residence, set high above a quiet corner overlooking the Washington Park Arboretum, Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains. Originally built in the 1940s, the home was completely reimagined in the 1980s when the owner partnered with architect Gary Sortun of Sortun-Vos to create a home shaped by its remarkable setting.Three levels unfold around a central staircase, each with living space, bedroom and bath. The main living floor brings together a warm Northwest contemporary kitchen, dining area and generous living room with wood-burning fireplace and balcony. The top floor is devoted to the primary suite, with a lounge, walk-in closet, en-suite bath, laundry and private balcony. The entry level offers a bedroom, reading nook, laundry, storage and flexible bonus space.Ride the elevator to the rooftop deck, where the views stretch from Mt. Baker to Mt. Rainier, across Lake Washington and the Arboretum. Cedar shingles, triple-pane windows, all-electric systems and a detached garage with EV charging speak to the care behind the home. The architectural foundation is here; its next chapter offers an opportunity to bring a fresh point of view to a distinctive Seattle residence.
