This lovely side-entry Colonial offers traditional style with contemporary amenities and up-to-date systems. The house was built in 1999 with top-notch finishes and attention to detail; phased remodels completed in 2003 gave it additional enhancements. Exterior features include clapboard walls, a cedar shake roof, and fine architectural detailing, including Chippendale-style balustrades.

A wrought iron fence with double gates borders a front yard with a level lawn and mature plantings, including a towering conifer. A walkway leads to a wide porch covering the side entry and a front door of clear fir with a leaded glass window.

An entry hall with a large mullioned window and open staircase introduces interiors with high ceilings and a light, airy feel. The adjoining living room features a raised ceiling and gas fireplace with a tile surround and flanking built-in cabinetry. French doors open to a bluestone terrace and small private backyard wrapped in a dense evergreen hedge. Also positioned off the entry area is a formal dining room with a built-in buffet. The entry, living and dining rooms have cherry hardwood floors. Dayrooms have good flow and afford an ideal setting for entertaining.

The home is endowed with a chef's kitchen and adjoining family room with a home theater system. The kitchen has a beamed ceiling, granite counters, and cherry cabinetry with architectural detailing. Floors and backsplash are covered in custom tile. A large center island provides great workspace and counter seating. Appliances include an Ultraline side-by-side stainless steel refrigerator/freezer and professional 6-burner gas range with double ovens, Miele dishwasher and Panasonic microwave. The carpeted family room offers French doors to the back terrace and a gas fireplace with a tile surround. Features of the home theater include a niche above the fireplace for a plasma screen TV, built-in wall and ceiling sound system, and custom-designed cabinetry for A/V equipment.

A powder room off the entry serves main floor dayrooms. A first floor bedroom suite has its own three-quarter bath as well as a walk-in closet with built-ins. A mudroom with tile floors off the kitchen provides easy access to an attached 2-car garage and the outdoors as well.

There are two additional bedrooms on the second floor, including the master suite. A hallway on the second floor is lined with south-facing windows and French doors to a balcony with peek-a-boo views of Lake Washington and Mt. Rainier. Privately situated at the end of the hall is a master suite with its own wrap-around balcony overlooking the terrace and backyard. The master bedroom has a barrel-vaulted ceiling, round arch windows and a gas fireplace with granite surround. The suite has abundant built-in storage, a walk-in closet and a separate dressing room that could function beautifully as a nursery. The inviting master bath provides a platform soaking tub set in slab granite and crowned by stained glass window evocative of the home's Pacific Northwest setting. Other features include a glass-walled shower, two vanities with granite slab counters, water closet, great storage, beadboard paneling, and radiant-heated granite tile floors.

The second bedroom has high vaulted ceilings with a circular steel staircase to a loft. This bedroom and an adjacent office with a built-in desk share a full Jack and Jill bath with marble tile floors and walls. The bedroom and office are each equipped with a sink set in a granite-topped counter. Completing the second level is a utility room with laundry facilities.

This pristine, eminently livable home enjoys an ideal location in the highly sought Washington Park neighborhood. Public access to Lake Washington is just two driveways to the south. The shops, restaurants and amenities of village-like Madison Park are minutes away, and downtown Seattle is an easy commute.
