About this home

A rare opportunity to own a true architectural masterpiece. Designed by noted architect Van Slyck and honored as the Seattle Times Home of the Month (November 1961), this mid-century modern jewel balances timeless design with everyday comfort.

Nestled in a private woodland setting on Thornton Creek, the home's clean lines, walls of glass, and thoughtful details celebrate the best of MCM aesthetics. Expansive windows open out to one of Seattle's most enchanting natural settings.

Just blocks from Meadowbrook Pond, a vibrant community center with pool, public transportation and top-rated schools. Plenty of driveway parking in addition to the carport. This important work of Seattle's architectural history awaits its next steward.

What Tom said afterwards

When I decided to sell my childhood home, I knew I needed a listing broker who could be more than just a real estate expert. I was looking for someone who understood architecture, listened carefully, and could see the bigger picture… someone who could read the market, time it right, and help achieve a result that would make my parents proud as we transitioned our family’s beloved home to its next steward. Josh turned out to be exactly that person. As a midcentury enthusiast himself, he understood that this was more than just a house and recognized its potential to attract real attention with the right strategy. From the moment the listing went live, activity was off the charts. Features in Dwell and Zillow Gone Wild fueled the excitement, and we ultimately received multiple offers on the review date, negotiating a price and terms that exceeded my expectations. To say that Josh made a tangible and meaningful difference in my life by delivering the results I needed philosophically, financially and emotionally in this life-changing event would be an understatement. Oh, and also one of the hardest-working and nicest humans I have met.
