A rare opportunity to own a significant work of Pacific Northwest architecture in the heart of Dunthorpe. The Meigs Residence, designed by celebrated architect John Storrs, is privately nestled on a secluded .72-acre estate where mature landscaping, expansive lawns & remarkable tranquility create a true park-like setting. Storrs’ signature relationship between architecture & landscape is experienced throughout, with dramatic expanses of glass framing views of greenery, gardens & mature plantings from nearly every room—allowing the landscape to become an integral part of the interiors. Exposed wood-beam ceilings bring warmth, texture & rhythm to the living spaces, creating rooms that are as experiential as they are architectural. The sellers have long treasured the way music, particularly the piano, fills these wood-clad spaces—an intimate example of how the home engages the senses as beautifully as it does the landscape. Nearly 1,500 SF of Ipe decking unfolds across four distinct deck areas, creating a collection of outdoor rooms for dining, entertaining & quiet retreat amid the grounds. The site carries exceptional provenance: John & Mary Storrs personally acquired the property in 1955 & held it for six years before conveying it to Gilbert & Laurie Meigs, for whom Storrs was subsequently commissioned to design the residence. Offering approximately 4,011 SF, the remarkably versatile floor plan balances architectural distinction with everyday livability, featuring formal living & dining rooms, multiple gathering spaces, a generous kitchen, family rooms, flexible living areas & 4 bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite. Multiple bedroom suites offer exceptional flexibility for family & guests. Surrounded by mature landscaping with extraordinary privacy, there is room to entertain, garden, gather & play, all within the highly regarded Riverdale School District. An enduring expression of Storrs’ celebrated Northwest Modernism.
