4404 Montana Circle W Seattle, WA 98199

Beneath the sheltering limbs of a century-old sequoia, this 1935 officer’s residence stands in stately repose—its brick façade glowing softly as dusk settles over Discovery Park. A home once shaped by duty, now devoted to sanctuary.

Framed by storybook lawns and sentinel trees, 4404 Montana Circle evokes an era of quiet dignity and enduring craft. Nestled on a landmarked street once home to Army officers, this residence is now a private haven—where children bike freely, neighbors linger in conversation, and life gently unfolds inside Seattle’s largest park.

A subtle inscription on weathered brick marks your place in history. Once a residence for U.S. Army officers, now a private home of grace and permanence—4404 Montana Circle welcomes those drawn to quiet beauty, civic legacy, and the timeless rhythms of park life.

Evening descends over the private green, where a quiet moment beneath the sequoias becomes a daily ritual. Once grounds for military order, this lawn now invites slow conversation, laughter among friends, and the kind of stillness only possible when home is surrounded by forest, meadow, and sky.

As twilight paints the sky in soft rose and lavender, the home glows from within—its enduring brickwork and classic lines speaking to nearly a century of thoughtful shelter. This is not just a residence, but a rare chapter in Seattle’s living history, where each sunset reminds you: you are home, inside a park, surrounded by legacy.

A gracious vestibule welcomes you with original tile underfoot and filtered light through a fanlit transom—details that whisper of 1930s craftsmanship. From the moment you arrive, the home invites you to slow your pace, shed the day, and step into a quieter rhythm shaped by tradition and tranquility.

Wrapped in windows and bathed in natural light, the former sun porch now serves as an intimate dining room—an ideal perch for morning coffee or candlelit dinners. Just beyond the glass, Discovery Park breathes and rustles, lending every meal a sense of ceremony and calm.

Through these original divided-light windows, your view opens not to a neighboring fence, but to a vast, private green—the kind of lawn where picnics, poetry readings, or impromptu soccer games unfold beneath the branches of old-growth trees. Dining here is a daily reminder of the land’s quiet grandeur.

Sunlight pours through walls of glass, framing the sequoia-dotted lawn like a living painting. This luminous dining space, once a sun porch, captures the essence of Fort Lawton living: rooted in history, immersed in nature, and filled with everyday grace.

Gracefully proportioned and bathed in natural light, the living room centers around a classic wood-burning fireplace—its mantle a quiet witness to generations of warmth and welcome. This is a space for conversation, contemplation, and connection, where the park beyond the windows shapes the mood within.

Original built-ins, hand-hewn banisters, and expansive windows tell stories of careful preservation and timeless design. From this vantage, you see not only the elegance within—but the borrowed landscape of Discovery Park, grounding daily life in beauty and breath.

A seamless blend of past and present unfolds as you move from the refined living room to the light-filled kitchen beyond. The central stair, lovingly preserved, links generations—while warm oak floors and gentle transitions offer a canvas for modern life, deeply rooted in place.

Anchored by a generous island and adorned with Miele appliances, the kitchen brings quiet luxury to everyday rituals. Thoughtfully updated within the original footprint, it offers a place to gather, nourish, and create—framed by verdant views that echo the home’s parkland setting.
