About this home

A 1967 Northwest contemporary in Seahurst, set on a 12,600 sq ft lot that backs onto a private greenbelt. From the big view deck the Olympics catch the morning light and the sun sets over Puget Sound, and Seahurst Park's wooded trails and public beach are a short walk away.

The main-floor kitchen has been fully remodeled around a granite island, a fireclay farmhouse sink and a vented range, under a vaulted, beamed ceiling. The baths were redone too, one with a stone soaking tub. The daylight lower level adds a second kitchen and a wood stove on a rebuilt hearth, with French doors out to the yard.

Outside, a hot tub, a sauna, a cold plunge and an outdoor shower all face the greenbelt. The unglamorous work is done as well: a full repipe, a 200-amp panel, a generator transfer switch, central air and dual-pane windows.
