The modern residential concept A-Frame was designed & debuted in the United States during the mid century. Jewel Box was built in 1968 and retained the focus of the minimalism, sustainable tiny-home trends.
Because of their vertical pitch, A-Frame designs usually span 1.5 to 2 stories, positioning a cozy master bedroom or sleeping loft beneath the high rafters, accessed by a sturdy ladder. This home was designed with a dormer to expand the space in the loft/sleeping area.
A-Frames are classic for a scaling structure allowing to easily integrate modern additions like dormers, skylights, surrounding porches, or wraparound exterior decks. Lucky for you, The Jewel Box has all the above.
Looking back at the front door from the lake side, the quality of construction is excellent from the cherry hardwood floors to the multiple remote control skylights above.
The remodeled kitchen is thoughtfully designed with extra storage every where you look.
The kitchen was remodeled in 2024 adding extra counter length, custom cabinets, appliances, hardware, counter tops and a copper sink.
To maximize counter space and cabinet storage, an under counter refrigerator is utilized.
The ground level utilizes minimal dividing walls to sustain a fluid, open living, dining, and kitchen environment.
Exceptional views from the kitchen.
The bathroom is a three quarter walk-in shower. The water heater is located under the sink and side drawers are for extra storage.
The walk in shower is quite large and bonus a window for yet more views. Convenient stackable washer and dryer.
The first bedroom is on the main floor, adjacent from the bathroom. Enjoy extra storage under the bed and in a built in dresser.
It might appear this is a Murphy bed but it is not. This is a Queen Size bed on a platform with the storage underneath.
The staircase is thoughtfully positioned so that it is not obstructing the flow of the open living/dining area. Super under stairs storage is like your pantry or more closet space.
The flat triangular end walls (the front and rear facades) provides massive, floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize natural lighting and scenic views.
The loft is extremely versatile. Make it a primary bedroom, an office, a gym, yoga or mediation room, a guest room whatever you choose, the views just do not stop.
Storage space under the skylight.
The large front facing IPE deck lends itself as a whole separate room. The canopy (which can be removed) supplies shade from the sun, a roof from rain, and a retractable screen for privacy,
Since The Jewel Box extends the length of the dock, the privacy from neighbors on either side is unparalleled.
Views of the Queen City Yacht Club, Montlake Bridge, UW Bridge, Montlake Cut, and Cascade Mountains are exceptional from the deck.
The deck wraps to the East and makes the perfect spot to make your potted garden or store kayaks.
From a birds-eye view, the boat moorage is located along the channel side. Following the channel side, the condo dock also owns the second dock for guests to temporary tie up their boats while visiting.
