This custom home in the Windermere neighborhood of Seattle, with views of Lake Washington, is a spacious private retreat for a growing family. Just off the gracious entry are a useful coatroom, powder room, and formal dining space that may second as a work-from-home spot.
The living area, open to the second level, is the heart of the home. Walls of windows draw in light and frame greenery and lake views as a backdrop for entertainment and relaxation. Neutral textures of warm woods and stone create a light and airy volume.
The two-story great room leads to a bright, open kitchen. Black base cabinets contrast the floors and light wood upper cabinets add warmth. Here, a generous island featuring a waterfall edge quartz countertop is a gathering hub. With a combination back kitchen/pantry tucked away, this is a high-functioning space built for family gatherings. A folding glass wall system opens to a covered deck that promotes outdoor living.
The open staircase is a beautiful focal point of the home and grants space to showcase art and connections to the private spaces—the bedrooms, bathrooms, office, and laundry. The primary suite, situated to capture the view, includes a spa-like freestanding soaking tub and a double shower.
