From the Sellers – Living in this house for ten years was a dream!
The house is located in such a beautiful area and the windows really bring the outside in for you to enjoy while inside the house. We could easily access all of the incredible amenities in Carkeek Park without having to drive anywhere. A walk on the many miles of trails, or to the beach or playground, quickly turned around days when the kids (or adults!) were cranky. Sitting in our living room, we enjoyed gorgeous sunsets and peek-a-boo views of the Olympics after the oak leaves fell.
Over the years we spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to create a beautiful, thoughtful, functional home in line with modern aesthetics for our use and enjoyment. We love to cook and created a kitchen that is not only beautiful, but highly functional and a pleasure to cook in. We also commissioned an energy audit and upgraded the comfort of our home with smart, energy-efficient improvements that make a big difference in day-to-day living.
We know the new owners will love living here as much as we did.
Check out some of the great amenities surrounding this stunning home.
Just a short drive from this home sits Carkeek Park. This park offers extraordinary views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Explore the secrets of this northwest Seattle watershed, nine miles from downtown. Here, 220 acres of lush forest, meadows, wetlands, creeks, and beach are formed by the magic of water and time. Come take part in an education program, have a picnic, or get involved as a volunteer teacher or as part of an outdoor work party. Walk the Pipers Canyon Story Trail, play on the uniquely salmon themed play area, or touch time at the historic Piper Orchard.

Not far from this home is Dunn Gardens. This is a privately owned 7.5-acre property composed of the remaining acreage of the estate of Arthur G. Dunn Sr., who made his fortune in the fish cannery business. Dunn bought the property in 1914 as a summer get-a-way for his family, and contracted the landscaping to the Olmsted Brothers. Upon his death, the property was inherited by his children. His son Edward B. Dunn provided for the care of his share of the estate in his will. A trust was created two years after his death to oversee the entire property. Dunn Gardens were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 15, 1994, and are open for special public events and docent-led guided tours April through July, and from September through October.
Just north of the Broadview neighborhood, located in the city of Shoreline is Aurora Square. This shopping center will soon be transformed into Shoreline Place. The goal of this project is to create a shopping and living experiences that meet the needs of the community and reflect the unique characteristics of the area.
