Step inside this well-maintained 1960 architect-designed mid-century modern by renowned John Burrows. Privately sited on a quiet Lake Forest Park cul-de-sac with rare treehouse-like serenity. Walls of windows flood open living spaces with natural light, seamlessly connecting indoors to the surrounding sanctuary. Original cedar beam vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and select 1960s fixtures preserve the home’s architectural integrity. The remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry by Kerf Design, honoring the home’s modern roots while elevating everyday living. Updated baths reflect cohesive, design-forward finishes. Premium lighting includes George Nelson Saucer Bubble Lamps and Sonneman pendants. Three main-level bedrooms include a primary suite with ensuite bath. The finished daylight lower level with private entry offers flexible living/media room, office, guest space, or potential ADU/MIL. Spacious laundry, abundant storage, and EV-ready electrical panel. Backyard wildlife setting with eagles, deer, and hummingbirds. Large lot offers outdoor flexibility and potential DADU opportunity (buyer to verify). Eligible for Lake Forest Park Civic Club membership. A rare Pacific Northwest retreat blending timeless design and versatility.
