About this home

A once-in-a-generation offering— where French Norman romance and modernism coexist in perfect balance, through a masterful $3M renovation by Chadbourne+Doss Architects and Bellan Construction and featured in the NY Times and Dwell. Set on one of Seattle’s most prestigious avenues, distinguished by a graceful row of historic estates, this N Capitol Hill residence spans over half an acre of lush, secluded grounds. Set back from the street & 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, walnut, marble and blackened steel. The dialogue between old and new feels effortless - not juxtaposed but harmonized - making it approachable for modern life. The chef’s kitchen features a dramatic window lined with walnut & metal floating shelves. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls open to a heated patio & backyard for indoor to outdoor living. Parklike grounds include sculptural gardens, guest cottage and a potting shed reimagined as a bar beside a 20-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 & stunning bath. Steps to Volunteer Park, minutes to downtown/SLU and Lk Union, and close to celebrated dining. A rare sanctuary in the heart of the city.
