Description

Wishing for a home of happiness, love and meticulous care, this stunning 1909 Bebb & Mendel residence prominently sited on a corner lot to capture Lake Washington and snowy Cascade Mountain views will entice. Rich in historic pedigree, timeless architecture and elegance, it is simultaneously updated for modern luxury. Garden-rich entrance features a structural water element, blooming daphne and the legendary Wishing Tree. Survey the engaging North Capitol Hill neighborhood from the welcoming front porch. Elegantly proportioned interiors are defined by high ceilings, an impressive entry with open stairwell, extraordinary original detailing and luminous stained-glass windows. The spectacular kitchen is anchored by a warm black walnut island, premium appliances, heated limestone floors, walk-in pantry, bar area and pet station. The primary suite offers a private sanctuary, with sparkling lake and mountain views, walls of custom closets, and a luxe bath with steam shower, soaking tub, heated floors, and adjoining sitting room with view balcony. All bedrooms are located on second and third floors. A wonderfully usable third-level ballroom includes a guest suite. Gracious outdoor living spaces feature a bluestone patio with firepit, hot tub, pizza oven, BBQ deck, and lush mature landscaping to create an exceptional setting for entertaining. The high-ceilinged lower level includes recreation space, gym and laundry. Two car detached garage complete this story of this remarkable home!
