Set on nearly a half acre in Seattle's coveted Clyde Hill neighborhood, this stately charmer designed by the renowned Don Whittaker blends the best of East Coast tradition with the breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Listing agent Lisa Turnure of Coldwell Banker Bain isn't exaggerating when she calls the home "the ultimate in Hamptons-style living." A tour inside reveals why.
From the sun-drenched living areas to the expansive outdoor spaces, the exceptional residence marries chic and timeless design with a lifestyle tailored to both grand entertaining and intimate moments. First setting the stage are the expansive level lawn, grand circular drive, gated motor court and classic New England-style shingle facade with gambrel roof. As you step inside, finely crafted details and a well-balanced floorplan contribute to an atmosphere of casual elegance that defines the over 7,000-square-foot home. Sun-drenched and open, the exquisitely renovated kitchen and family room facilitate entertaining, no matter the occasion. The dining room, appointed with classic wainscoting and navy grasscloth wallpaper, providing an immediate source of inspiration for hosting formal affairs. The living room, flanked by a fireplace, has French doors leading to a covered outdoor entertaining space with fireplace. Those who work from home may find the wood-paneled office on the main floor impressive, thanks to its quiet setting with French doors leading to the garden. A second home office just off the breakfast room offers an additional work space.
Five bedrooms and three baths define the residence, including a main floor primary suite. A true sanctuary, this private retreat beckons with spa-like bath, enormous walk-in closet and gas fireplace. Curated amenities, such as a fully equipped home gym, five fireplaces and a 1,000+ bottle temperature controlled wine cellar, elevate the living experience. Multiple French doors usher you onto a fabulous covered entertaining area, complete with a fireplace, perfect for extending gatherings well into the evening.
This Clyde Hill masterpiece offers the best of both worlds. Enjoy a peaceful and private suburban setting, while remaining just minutes from Medina, Bellevue Square and the Bravern luxury shopping district.
