This is your invitation to view some of Puget Sound’s most luxurious properties. Come inside and take a look around. Read more below on the “Home of the Week” winner, listed by Laura Halliday!
From the boxwood hedges to the elegant entry, this 1924 bungalow draws curb appeal from the days of Count Basie and Ella Fitzgerald, when people would sit on their front porch watching the world go by and waving hello to the neighbors as the stars came out. The home brings an English sensibility to mind; while keeping a very practical approach to the place where life happens every day, you should always be wearing your best pearl earrings. As you enter through the oversized front door, the living room welcomes with an elegant rose quartz fireplace, crown molding, hardwood floors and large, open windows overlooking the front yard.
Through another pair of French doors, the spacious dining room awaits with a stunning vintage crystal chandelier accented by crown molding and multiple light filled windows. In classic 1920’s style, the dining area is separated from the kitchen by a vintage swinging door. The “neat-as-a-pin” kitchen brings a more modern tint to the home, with new stainless steel appliances, retro 1950’s style flooring and cabinetry and the perfect coziness for a burgeoning home chef. The cheerful, light filled breakfast nook overlooks the back garden and dreams of quiet mornings with the perfect cup of coffee. Bring the morning paper out the back door to the spacious deck, ready for peaceful mornings and summer barbecues.
Off the deck, Verdant Gardens earns its name with a lovingly tended and private English garden showcasing boxwood, lilacs, ivy, camellias, roses and other dreamy delights. Set on a hill with the garage and finished lower level below, the home features expansive storage spaces perfect for a craft room or shop, along with two of the three guest rooms and the second bathroom to accommodate overnight guests or a growing family. Come home to Verdant Gardens in Queen Anne, Seattle.
