SOLD | urban farmhouse madrona

830 31st Avenue | OFFERED AT $1,895,000

This architect/builder team’s own ‘urban farmhouse’ was lovingly designed for today’s lifestyle. Stylish, open and airy, this modern home has soaring ceilings and abundant light throughout. A wall of windows allows the western sun to illumine the great room, which opens through accordion glass doors onto the deck and garden, creating true indoor-outdoor living. The fabulous kitchen is anchored by the generous island and is flanked by an office and sitting area. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings in all three bedrooms create a loft-like feel, with views of the downtown skyline and Olympic Mountains. The master suite includes a large walk-in closet and luxurious bath with soaking tub and shower. The second and third bedrooms each have an additional sleeping loft – ideal for cozy book reading and day dreaming. A second full bath with lovely mosaic tiles, and a laundry room, complete this upper floor. The lower level features concrete floors and offers a spacious family room and a large bedroom suite with three-quarter bath, kitchenette, and outside access – a perfect Airbnb or guest suite.

The beautiful landscaping is divided into several distinctive “garden rooms” and echoes the understated design of the house. Off the main west-facing deck, the lawn area offers a place for summer gatherings or quiet contemplation under the surrounding River birch and Katsura trees. On the south side of the deck, stairs lead to a lovely sitting area screened on one side by espaliered apples, and on another side, by a small raised herb and vegetable garden. The south side of the home offers a perfect space for your four-legged friends. A true urban oasis.

Superb offering just a few blocks from the boutiques, park, and cafes of Madrona, and an easy 10-minute commute to downtown, or 20 minutes to Bellevue and the Eastside.
