Pristine Mid-Century Modern designed by Kenneth Koehler. This is your chance to own a Seattle icon, meticulously updated by its 2nd owners. Each architectural detail has been reimagined while preserving and honoring the cool design elements we LOVE about mid-century architecture. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, restored stone fireplace, and large windows invite in natural light on every level. A 2019 remodel project designed by Studio Temperate added private outdoor living space and several upgrades. Perched atop the hill in Seward Park, rare trifecta of sights: Seattle skyline, Olympic Mts & sneak peeks of Lake Washington. Cozy covered outdoor lounge area. Attached 2 car garage + parking galore. Come see this one-of-a-kind today!
