New On Market: Modern Georgian Masterpiece

By RSIR Staff |

Minutes from Downtown Seattle, Broadmoor, one of Seattle’s loveliest gated residential golf course communities, bounded on the west by the Washington Park Arboretum, and Lake Washington to the East, regally rests this elegant Georgian modern-day home. Designed by noted Architect, Stuart Silk and the vision of its Seattle native owners who wanted to build a home that a hundred years hence would still feel and look authentic to the community.

The flare of the appointments in this home were designed to achieve a balance of traditional architecture with contemporary fixtures and conveniences, elegant for grand entertaining and yet fitting for day-to-day living. Situated on 2.5 lots, totaling 19,750 square feet, completed in 2010, this home has total privacy. The Silver LEED Certified home was built to include a 5000-liter cistern buried under the landscaping to collect rain water for irrigation; a back-up propane generator capable of powering the home for weeks; sound-proof walls and floors; and a sophisticated mechanical system that self regulates the temperature of each room in the home.

An Epicurean kitchen is primed for the most ambitious of culinary endeavors with a Capital gas range, including a 30,000 BTU wok burner, three ovens, three dishwashers, two warming drawers, and a custom designed hood. Dine in the formal dining room amidst a custom mural that evokes a sense of serenity pulling the outdoor gardens in. French doors throughout the home lead to a stone patio with lawn inset ideal for bocce ball with an adjacent barbecue and glass-tiled spa made to share with more than a dozen friends. Custom lighting highlights mature maples, rhododendrons and landscaping that is meant to be enjoyed year-round. The upper level of this three-story home features four distinctive master en-suites with walk-in closets. A fifth bedroom on the lower floor serves as a self-contained apartment with its own entry, kitchenette and laundry.

Additional features include a home theatre and billiard room, fitness room, temperature-controlled wine cellar, and walnut-paneled study/library, along with an elevator reminiscent of an English telephone booth providing ease of access between levels. And for today’s techies, a Questron system controls security cameras, a Kaleidescape system is loaded with hundreds of movies and musical selections, as well as a multi-channel entertainment system. Beckoning to a world gone by, yet inviting for today’s modern families, this exquisite Georgian Masterpiece provides a truly unparalleled lifestyle in the heart of Seattle surrounded by the Broadmoor Golf Course and walking distance to Lake Washington, restaurants, cafes, boutiques and services.
