This traditional home in the Washington Park neighborhood sits above Lake Washington and offers sweeping 180 degree views of the lake and Mt Rainier. In keeping with the character of the neighborhood, the owners expressed the desire for a traditional Georgian inspired home. The home offers a stepping street facade which diminishes the apparent mass of the home while giving a visual rhythm as one approaches the home. Roof planes are punctuated by a series of gabled dormers lending to this visual rhythm, as well as creating interesting interior volumes. A dramatic two story entry sets up the very formal layout and detail of the interior of this home. The large view oriented living room and dining room are separate from the less formal family room/kitchen area.
