A Mid-Century Modern gem designed in 1964 by architect Jan Kiaer. Perched on the hillside, the architect designed the home as a platform in the trees supported on five beams with walls of windows to take in the southwesterly views. Now those views look on a garden of Northwest native plants, and a garden originally designed by well-known mid-century landscape architect Richard Haag (Gasworks Park, Bloedel Reserve). An AIA home of the month in 1964, it is still owned by the original owners and has been meticulously maintained. The windows are wrapped in wood, walnut paneling is found throughout, original shoji screens, built-in furniture, and lighting fixtures designed by the architect himself, complete the picture. Although the home has remained largely untouched by remodeling, a new kitchen was installed in 2003 and designed by the original architect. The new kitchen blends seamlessly with the rest of the house yet uses modern materials like granite counters, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Miele diswasher. The crowing jewel is the six burner Le Crueset French stove and oven. Attached is a 260 square foot sun room.Located in very desirable Horizon View, Division C, just outside the iconic Hilltop Community. This home offers a sense of privacy while at the same time being just minutes to I-90, Factoria and Downtown Bellevue. 1964 AIA Home of the Month winnerOak floors throughout with a parque entryUpdated kitchen with granite counters and stainless appliancesOriginal lighting fixturesOriginal shoji screensWalnut panelingSub-Zero refrigeratorWhole house water filtration systemUV protected windowsAbundant wood decking250 square-foot sun room with iron stoveHome designed by Jan KiaerGardens designed by Richard Haag
