3055 44th Avenue W Seattle, WA 98199

Just a couple steps down from the sidewalk, and then a lovely level entry welcomes you to this sleek 1961 Magnolia home with Primary Suite + 2 beds/1 bath all on the main floor. Chunky basalt intersects with a vertical MOD wood screen detail, leading to the gorgeous original double entry door capped by vaulted clerestory windows.

Original slate graces the front entry, with stunning original carved double entry doors offering privacy, while large/vaulted clerestory windows deliver soft light. The doorway on the left leads to the primary suite, and the hallway takes you to kitchen/dining/family, and circles around to the living room which is directly behind us. Off to the left are two large bedrooms, full bath, and stairs to the lower level. For now let's pivot 180 degrees and head into the living room...

Expansive windows span the entire west-facing back of the home, with vaulted ceilings, clerestories, and exposed beams popping against perfectly-smooth white walls; future backdrop for your statement art.

Sleek window shades run the expanse of the larger lower windows, keeping the late afternoon sun at bay when needed. Central A/C kicks things down a notch on really toasty days.

Thanks to the topography of our corner lot, the road on our north side (behind us) drops down the hill toward Magnolia Blvd. Lucky for us, this means we are sitting well above the homes along the Blvd to west, allowing maximum enjoyment of light and sky with the utmost of privacy.

This first peek at the kitchen shows how nicely it occupies the true heart of this home, with all of life flowing in and around it...living...dining...lounging...bonding...

We elected to show this space as a loungey vignette connecting living room to kitchen, but clearly it's an area open to interpretation. It has served as a very gracious dining area many times in the past.

Difficult to believe this kitchen remodel was done in 2010, but it's true. Testament to the fact that simple/understated classic design is always timeless. Custom walnut cabinetry is topped with sleek gray quartz. White-painted sliding uppers are framed in walnut and seem to float above the sea-glass-inspired backsplash.

Whether prepping tea for a cozy visit with a friend, assembly-line lunch prep, scrambled eggs & pancakes on the weekends, or serving up platters to a crowd, this kitchen handles it all with aplomb.

In design the term "white space" or "negative space" refers to the imperative of allowing for visual or actual breaks between other design elements. Here white-painted cabinets in turn visually recess and then pop against the walnut frames, creating a sense of playful movement.

A skylight in the kitchen is such a delightful luxury. Particularly here, with well-placed ceiling and under-cabinet lights, plus 3 perfect pendants over the island (not to mention all the light from those windows!) already delivering a very-beautifully illuminated space day or night.

Dual skylights lend visual interest and natural light to the dining area just off the kitchen.

A tall wooden fence lends privacy while still allowing southern light to filter in from the side windows. A handy door leads to tucked-away storage for bins, with an easy roll to the street on pick-up days.

A two-sided wood-burning fireplace offers warmth, ambiance, and additional seating; as well as helping to delineate the different living spaces.

A door off the family room leads to the back deck with stairs to the lower (fenced) yard.

Fire up the grill and dine al fresco this summer, or just relax and soak in every last drop of sunshine from your west-facing deck.

The hallway to the left of the dining table circles behind the kitchen back to the entry and leads to the 3 bedrooms/2 bathrooms on this floor...

The main-floor primary bedroom easily accommodates a king bed. Two skylights and a frosted clerestory deliver natural light without compromising privacy.

Custom walnut shelving with 3 large drawers underneath the window seat offers functional beauty in the primary bedroom.

Designed to evoke a luxury hotel, the primary bath is sumptuous and inviting, with soft/diffuse natural light delivered via frosted vertical windows in between the vanities. The quintessential MCM wood-screen detail outside the east-facing window lends an artistic flair to your morning light.

A frosted wall and sliding door separates the primary bath from walk-in closet and adjacent bedroom while still allowing light to flow.

One of two additional main-floor bedrooms, both very gracious in scale with large closets and north-facing windows.

The 3rd main-floor bedroom is even larger than the last. Think bunk-beds + dressers + play +......

A large glass-block window welcomes north-facing natural light into the main-floor full bath.

This fun area is just off the attached 2-car garage (door out of frame to the right) and transitions from stairwell to the huge rec/family room through the doorway. A half-bath is through the doorway just visible on the left. Tall frosted north-facing windows grace the stairwell with natural light, which spills into this space.

This huge lower-level rec/family room is so fun and flexible! A wood-burning fireplace is just out of frame to the left, and a door to the lower patio and fenced backyard is just behind us. A doorway on the far wall leads to a HUGE storage area. The space in between offers many possibilities...

Consider a pull-out bed and a sliding door/wall system to allow this space to easily flex from exercise or office to guest accommodations.

The wood-burning fireplace delivers visual and actual warmth to this wonderful room. Both fireplaces are plumbed for gas, allowing for easy wood-starting or conversion to a gas fireplace. Large windows let in light, and a glass door opens to the lower patio and fenced yard...

We needed the drone to get this shot! The entire back of the house and fenced yard are not visible from the street or houses below, thanks to the topography of the corner lot and mature trees surrounding the perimeter.

That's scenic Magnolia Boulevard just a block down toward the water. Roll or stroll to the left to meander past stately homes and ever-expanding vistas of water/islands/mountains/city, winding up in lively Magnolia Village. Or turn right to head the short distance up to magnificent Discovery Park and its 500+ acres of trails, meadows, and views. The only thing "missing" are the unsightly power lines....those were buried underground in this neighborhood years ago :)
