INTRODUCTION As the world left the 1916 Pandemic behind, society rushed forward into a hopeful age enamored of powerful new technology. In this era, the Art Deco style (founded at the Paris World's Fair) represented luxury, glamour, exuberance, and faith in social and industrial progress. Experience a refined vision of the Arts Decoratifs spirit in this fully updated, historical design view home. From original "Jazz Plaster" in the living room, to a Works Progress Administration painting of Seattle rendered into a custom stone mosaic on the kitchen floor, the recently-finished, fully-permitted, multi-year complete remodel combines the uncompromising inspiration of the owner (a Seattleite native glassblowing sculptor) with the work of architect Lawrence Houston and innumerable tradespeople. Melded from period, reproduction, and freshly bespoke artifacts and elements, the finished home imbues its resident with the ethos of ages past through its idealized aesthetic paean to the legacy of Art Deco design as we approach its centennial anniversary. Though built in 1927 and boasting palatial touches, the dwelling keeps a tiny carbon footprint with all-new insulation, zone heating, and efficient use of conditioned living space. Captivating modern features are seamlessly integrated: LG Art Cool heat pumps provide heating and air conditioned cooling to each upstairs bedroom, and heated tile rosettes warm feet in both bathrooms. Your central spot in the Maple Leaf neighborhood is a gourmand's delight: reach no less than nine restaurants on adjacent blocks by crossing only one street, or venture another block to 16-acre omni-use Maple Leaf Reservoir Park.
