Property Description

Set in the heart of Laurelhurst, one of Seattle's most established lakeside neighborhoods, this thoughtfully designed home blurs the line between inside and out. Originally designed by Perry Johanson, a founding partner of NBBJ, the mid-century residence was later reimagined by Rerucha Studio with Caspers Built, preserving its original timber beams and wood-decked ceilings while opening the interior to light and flow. The open main level steps through walls of glass to the surroundings beyond, framing Lake Washington and glowing evening sunsets. At its center, a chef's kitchen brings together Miele appliances and a Wolf range beneath custom walnut cabinetry, as suited to a quiet morning as to an evening with friends. Just beyond, glass doors off the kitchen open to a sunken patio set atop the garage, where a conversation pit finished in wood, concrete, and steel forms a second living room in the open air, the kind of detail that earned the home a feature in Seattle Magazine. A gated courtyard welcomes you at the entry, while a built-in hot tub anchors a private retreat at the rear. The location speaks for itself; minutes from the University of Washington, Husky Stadium, University Village, and the gardens and trails along Union Bay, with light rail and quick access to the rest of the city close at hand. A refined home in a setting that rarely comes available.
