Just days after “Palm Springs Vibe Meets Asian Flair in the Heart of Kirkland,” listed by Scott Wasner, Founding Member and Broker with Realogics Sotheby’s International Realty (RSIR) hit the market, the local media was highlighting the unique property for its architecture and beachy Palm trees.
As Curbed Seattle’s Sean Keeley reported, “we’d certainly believe we were in Palm Springs if we just woke up in that backyard on a nice day and didn’t know any better.” With the “palm trees rising beside the pool and the covered barbecue pavilion,” Keeley says “you’ll probably be holding some Sunset Magazine-style dinners back there all the time.”
But as the feature describes, it isn’t just the outside that allures, as “inside you’ll find strong architectural lines, soaring ceilings, and a blending of natural elements” that are complemented by an “Asian influence [that] really comes into play in many of these spaces (as well as the front of the house).”
Kirsten O’Brien of Seattle PI paints a picture for readers, telling them to “picture yourself lounging by a pool. As you listen to the gentle bubbling of three small waterfalls that feed the pool, palm trees sway lazily overhead, while lush green shrubs and ferns surround you . . . As you continue to lounge, you might think to yourself just how nice it is to be in this little paradise.” O’Brien then asks, “where are you?” evoking images of far-away beach escapes or vacation homes before revealing that this little slice of paradise is in Kirkland, WA.
O’Brien spends time outlining the extraordinary backyard before revealing that Wasner says “the property was rebuilt from the ground up in 2007, and the owner designed and sourced the materials for the home himself . . . No expense was spared when it came to luxury upgrades.”
