Property Description

On a quiet corner lot in Madrona, this one-of-a-kind Pacific Northwest contemporary offers remarkable privacy, dramatic architecture, and spectacular views of Lake Washington, the Bellevue skyline, and Mount Rainier. Held by the same owner for more than 40 years, the original 1919 residence was reimagined in 1989 by Hewitt/Daly Architects. Its striking post-and-beam construction features substantial 6-by-18-inch beams and 6-by-6-inch posts anchored to concrete piers, giving the home an unmistakable architectural presence. The main level features rich oak floors, generous living and dining spaces, and a two-story atrium that draws in natural light while framing the lake, city, and mountain outlook. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete this floor. Above, the private primary suite enjoys a head-on view of Mount Rainier from the bed, while an open office overlooking the living spaces faces Lake Washington—an inspiring place to work as eagles soar overhead. The entry level offers exceptional flexibility, with abundant windows, an expansive second kitchen, and generous living, dining, and sleeping areas—ideal as a guest suite, recreation space, or studio apartment. The lower level adds storage and expansion potential, with access to the attached one-car garage, backyard, and covered patio. Four outdoor decks, including a rooftop deck built for entertaining beneath the open sky, extend the living experience outdoors. An exceptional Madrona residence with a character all its own.
