Laurentide Luxury Retreat

Nestled behind the brick columns of Laurentide on a quiet, private bluff, this 5,500+ sq ft Northwest Contemporary retreat captures sweeping west-facing views of Puget Sound, Vashon and Blake Islands, and the Olympic Mountains. Perched on a rare half-acre lot that includes the bluff and extends down to the street below, the property offers long-term view protection and a true sense of seclusion. Just blocks from beach access, sunset strolls and shoreline adventures are part of daily life. Set along a cherry blossom–lined street with trees imported from Kyoto, this enclave is regarded as one of the most coveted addresses in all of Seattle. Homes here rarely come to market. Though it feels a world away, you’re just minutes from Lincoln Park and a short drive to downtown. Built in 2014 and meticulously maintained, the home is a true masterpiece of design and craftsmanship. The main living space is nothing short of breathtaking. A soaring wall of west-facing windows floods the great room with natural light, while vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, and custom built-ins create a rich sense of scale and warmth. Warm acacia hardwood floors ground the space and carry throughout the main level, adding character and richness underfoot. The grand curved staircase makes a striking first impression, while a second staircase at the back of the home adds convenient access and flow. The La Cantina sliding wall opens fully to the stamped concrete deck, blending indoor comfort with outdoor serenity. Whether entertaining at sunset or enjoying a quiet morning by the fire, this space turns everyday moments into something extraordinary. The main level offers an ideal layout for connection and entertaining, featuring a formal dining room, great room with formal living, casual dining area, and a cozy TV room with gas fireplace that invites conversation and relaxation. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with a home office nook, ample storage, and top-tier appliances—including Liebherr refrigeration, Bosch double ovens and cooktop, a KitchenAid wine fridge, and a Zephyr range hood—blending function and elegance with ease. Function meets luxury with a 4-car garage featuring epoxy flooring and two convenient entrances. One leads into a beautifully designed mudroom with a live-edge wood bench and custom built-ins to keep life organized in style. Also on the main floor: a private home office with custom bookcases and a powder room already plumbed for a shower—easily converted to a guest suite or ensuite. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite captures breathtaking views and lives like a luxury hotel retreat—complete with a gas fireplace, vaulted ceilings, private view balcony, walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath with heated floors. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, while the oversized laundry room rivals the scale of a bedroom. A large media/bonus room with an attached ¾ bath offers the perfect space for a home theater, game room, or future guest apartment. A second bonus room is ideal for a second office, craft space, or kids' homework area. At the attic level, a versatile flex space is perfect for a gym, studio, or expanded storage. The sellers have elevated this already stunning property with curated landscaping, hardscaping, and custom outdoor features. Enhancements include a retractable awning, automatic sun screens on west-facing windows, mini-splits in upper rooms, hardwoods in all bedrooms, a whole-home natural gas generator, and recent waterproofing and expansion of both the front deck and upper-level bonus room. The landscaping is nothing short of enchanting—thoughtfully designed to enhance privacy, showcase the views, and support year-round outdoor living. Mature plantings, curated rock gardens, and seasonal bursts of color create a lush, layered landscape. Towering evergreens offer a natural canopy, while blooming rhododendrons and azaleas add brilliant contrast in spring. A manicured lawn flows seamlessly from the stamped concrete patio, offering space for play, entertaining, or quiet reflection. String lights wrap the cedar trees, casting a magical glow at dusk. Tucked beneath a cedar-lined pavilion, the Bullfrog hot tub invites you to soak beneath the stars with peekaboo views of the Sound. Whether sipping coffee at sunrise or gathering around the firepit at sunset, the grounds feel like your own private resort. Life here feels like a permanent vacation. The peaceful setting on a dead-end street offers exceptional privacy and serenity. You'll wake to the sounds of eagles, owls, and seals, and end each day with a front-row seat to stunning sunsets. Secret neighborhood trails connect you to Lincoln Park, Endolyne Joe’s, Wildwood Market, and other beloved local spots—creating a rare blend of nature, community, and convenience. West Seattle is a destination all its own—offering a vibrant, village-like atmosphere with waterfront parks, charming eateries, independent shops, and a strong sense of connection. Whether you’re exploring the beach at Alki, paddleboarding along the Sound, catching live music, or hopping the water taxi to downtown, this community delivers the perfect balance of laid-back living and city access. This is more than a home. It’s a legacy property—an extraordinary convergence of natural beauty, architectural pedigree, and timeless Pacific Northwest living.
