Set within the storied Harvard-Belmont Historic District, this classic Capitol Hill residence pairs timeless architecture with a refined modern sensibility. Expansive windows follow sweeping views across Lake Union, Gas Works Park, Queen Anne and the Olympic Mountains, filling the home with natural light. Elegant interiors unfold through beautifully proportioned living spaces, fine millwork and a chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry and exceptional storage. Multiple terraces extend daily life outdoors, from a rooftop garden off the west-facing primary suite to an outdoor kitchen and covered fireside lounge surrounded by lush, private grounds. Two offices and flexible spaces accommodate both everyday living and entertaining with ease. An elevator, solar panels, A/C and detached two-car garage bring modern comfort to this distinguished Seattle home.
