This architecturally significant grande dame, completed in 1905, occupies a 22,500-sq.-ft. corner lot with a pool, lovely grounds and panoramic city, water and mountain views. It was designed by Bebb & Mendel, Seattle`s most prominent architectural firm at the turn of the century. Originally built for timber baron Albert S. Kerry, the house has had only four owners. Meticulously maintained, it has benefited from impeccable updates by Schultz Miller that endowed it with desired contemporary amenities. Chiseled gray granite walls with shingle detailing and a gabled roof give the exterior a commanding presence. Interiors retain fine period detailing, hardwood floors and original fixtures. A grand 2-story foyer with a majestic staircase and crystal chandelier introduces interiors lavishly endowed with dark-stained wainscoting, ceiling beams and classical columns. A generous size living room with a magnificent fireplace – one of seven in the house – has French doors to an adjoining sunroom with wrap-around windows that embrace views of Elliott Bay and Mt. Rainier, stretching from downtown Seattle to Bainbridge Island. Library with fireplace flanked by built-in cabinetry; dining room with built-in buffet and fireplace; study with shelf-lined walls and windows overlooking pool; updated kitchen with granite counters, LaCanche gas range and Sub-Zero refrigerator; elegant powder room.

The house has five ample sized bedrooms, including the master suite. All are located on the second level. They are served by three full baths. Four bedrooms enjoy water and mountain views. Three have fireplaces, and one has its own private balcony. The second floor is accessed by two sets of stairs.

A major remodel in 1997 gave the home a full floor of space for informal living on its lower level. Renovated areas have high ceilings and an open floor plan that encompasses a big family room, a built-in bar with granite counters and a billiards room. The family room has a massive brick fireplace, built-in bench seating and access to an expansive covered terrace. Equipped with a full outdoor kitchen, the terrace provides an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining. A spacious office with shelf-lined walls has pocket doors that can be closed for privacy. The lower level is accessed by two sets of stairs as well. A refurbished powder room serves living areas. A three-quarter bath adjoins a bonus room that could serve numerous functions, include sleeping quarters for staff or overflow guests. Also located on the lower level are a utility room and wine cellar. An unfinished attic that runs the full width of the house offers abundant storage space.

The property has a wide front lawn with a circular driveway and attached 2-car garage. The private back yard features a level lawn, terrace bordered by beautiful formal gardens and a lovely pool, installed in 2008. This distinguished older home is located on Queen Anne, a vibrant urban neighborhood only minutes from downtown and the myriad cultural offerings of Seattle Center.
