Description

Anchored high above the street in North Capitol Hill, this Northwest Contemporary home strikes the perfect balance between premium luxury and casual approachability. Built in 2003, it’s been designed to capitalize on incredible 180° views of the Cascades from every level. Skip the stairs when you arrive—an elevator whisks you from the roomy 2-car garage straight to the main floor. This level is the heart of the home, with a fabulous circular layout. A true chef’s kitchen and formal dining in the rear of the house open to a private, park-like backyard. Back inside, the living spaces drop down in front like a theater, preserving the view from the kitchen and creating more intimate everyday moments in a house made to entertain. The showstopper? A massive terrace spans the front of the house, complete with a gas fireplace for chilly nights with friends. Outstanding functionality continues in the private quarters, with separate guest accommodations downstairs joining a large media room and office. Upstairs is the family level, with three large secondary bedrooms served by a full bath with a walk-in shower (no bathtub) and laundry. The massive primary suite leaves nothing to be desired, featuring best-in-house views of the sunrise from bed or the private deck. This house does it all!
