This charming Cape-Cod style home with gray shingled walls, black shutters, and a cedar shake roof was built in 1927. The house has undergone a comprehensive, phased remodel that added a full second story as well as new systems and updated amenities. This jewel of a home, recognized for its classic design and traditional style, was featured in a Better Homes and Gardens book on home decor.

Located in Broadmoor, one of Seattle's premier gated communities, the property is easily accessible to downtown and only minutes from Lake Washington and the waterfront amenities of village-like Madison Park. Both the driveway and walkways that traverse the property are paved in brick. The front walk leads to a covered side entry with a paneled door flanked by sidelights. A center hall with a staircase introduces beautifully appointed dayrooms with hardwood floors. French doors open to a living room with a marble-trimmed fireplace, deep crown molding, and access to a covered brick terrace overlooking the backyard. An adjoining dining room with wainscot walls also has French doors that open to the terrace.

On the opposite side of the entry hall, an inviting family room offers walls of built-in cabinetry and a wood-burning fireplace with a limestone surround. The floor plan makes this home ideal for entertaining. A bright kitchen features blue-and-white tile backsplash, traditional white cabinetry, and Corian counters. A breakfast nook with banquette seating is nestled into a bay window. Appliances include a paneled Sub-Zero refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher, and Thermador double ovens and gas oven/range. One wall lined in cabinetry provides abundant pantry space. A powder room in a back hall serves dayrooms. Completing the main floor is a guest bedroom suite with its own full bath.

A staircase fitted with brass rods leads to a second level with three bedrooms and a home office, all with hardwood floors, as well as two baths. The large master suite has high vaulted ceilings, shuttered windows, and a gas fireplace with a slate surround. The master suite is endowed with a big walk-in closet with built-ins and a full bath with heated marble tile flooring, platform tub, glass-walled shower, vanity with double sinks, water closet and towel warming drawer. Another bedroom, also ample in size, has a built-in window seat and walk-in closet. It shares a three-quarter tile bath with a third, smaller bedroom. The home's lower level has a large rec room currently used as a home office/craft space. An adjoining utility room with tile floors and outdoor access has laundry facilities, a work sink, built-in cabinetry and plenty of counter space. A three-quarter bath with heated tile floors serves the lower level. Beautifully landscaped grounds feature level lawns bordered with mature plantings that provide privacy from neighboring homes. A brick walkway along the side of the house connects the front and back lawns. The house has an attached two-car garage, accessed through the family room.
