This stunning home is truly a testament to mid-century modern design, craftsmanship and materials, as well as to sensitive restoration, improvement and pride of ownership. Originally built by the owner of West Seattle’s Olsen's Lumber, the house exhibits exceptional woodwork and build quality throughout, including an absolutely astonishing number of clever period built-ins. Oversized windows in the main living spaces afford great north facing views of the city, while the interior gives a sense of warm, livable modernity similar in tone to many of Frank Lloyd Wright’s designs. The fully finished lower level even offers mother-in-law potential!

Virtually all potential wear areas and mechanicals have been replaced, including new 20 year composition roof, hot water heater, insulated windows, oil furnace and lower level carpet.

Crisp brick and rough sawn cedar plank exterior with deep overhangs evokes the feeling of a Frank Lloyd Wright house.

Completely original custom blond wood and tile kitchen has been updated with newer wall oven and dishwasher, a top of the line stainless refrigerator and new checkerboard flooring.

Refinished hardwoods throughout, with strip in living, dining and sleeping areas, and pegged plank throughout the halls.

Beautifully designed and crafted period built-ins throughout both floors.

Freshly painted in a warm and rich color palate that complements the house’s great woodwork.

Absolutely perfect and original blue tile bath on the main is a paragon of mid century style, craftsmanship and comfort, and is matched by an equally immaculate yellow tile bath on the lower level.

Originally built by the owner of Alki Lumber with great care and fabulous materials.

Territorial and Seattle city views.

Lovely tile fireplace in living room, accented by original architectural wood paneling.

Entertainment sized patio with mature landscaping, and a new cedar fence with arbor.

Fantastic daylight rec room/den with heavy plank paneling, tons of built-ins and a warm and beautiful brick fireplace.

Spacious hallways on both floors, with opulent built-ins for storage.

Big bright laundry room with a bonus area that opens onto the den, and which would make a great bar! (washer/dryer not included)

Great location in the heart of West Seattle - Walk to everything!
