About this home

Perched above Elliott Bay along coveted Palm Avenue, this 1925 North Admiral Tudor Revival pairs sweeping Seattle skyline views with remarkable stewardship and a distinctly Pacific Northwest Craftsman sensibility. A Certified Wildlife Habitat garden, pond and slate path lead to a slate-and-steel entry and arched front door. Inside, view-filled living, dining and kitchen spaces feature barrel-vaulted ceilings, arched openings, hardwoods, built-ins, warm woodwork, art glass and touches of whimsy. A richly textured Arts & Crafts relief-tile gas fireplace anchors the living room; the cook’s kitchen offers Bosch & Sub-Zero appliances and a live-edge breakfast bar. Two main-level bedrooms include one with its own sitting room, plus an ocean-themed 3/4 bath with twin porthole windows. Expanded and comprehensively modernized in 2005, the 3,860 SF home offers 4 bedrooms + office/den and 3.5 baths, with updated systems. Upstairs, the vaulted view primary suite features a spa-like bath, walk-in closet & secret room; a second bedroom has its own bath. The expansive Ipe rooftop terrace offers room to dine, lounge & entertain against the Seattle skyline day or night. Lower level adds family/game, craft/flex and office space. Two solar arrays, standing-seam metal roof and 2018 EV wired, rebuilt garage with structural pin piles reflect stewardship. Sale includes adjacent 5,291 SF lower-bluff parcel. Walk to beloved local cafes, shops and restaurants, with Alki and the Water Taxi nearby.
