Not all modern homes are created equal, and this one proves it. This stand-alone 3-bedroom home is perched to capture unobstructed views of Salmon Bay & Shilshole, and stands apart with something rarely found in newer construction: both gorgeous scenery and a truly usable yard. Floor-to-ceiling windows with southwestern exposure flood the home with natural light while framing stunning water and mountain views from nearly every level. Enjoy golden hour from the living room, unwind in the primary suite, or take it all in from the rooftop deck, complete with a wet bar for effortless entertaining and 360-degree views that never get old. The flexible layout offers space to live, work, and host with ease. The primary suite is a true retreat with sweeping views, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-like 5-piece bath. Outside, the large yard delivers what most vertical homes cannot. A deck for dining, garden beds, storage shed, and plenty of space for a dog to run. Off-street parking included. Tucked into a quieter pocket just moments from Ballard's shops, restaurants, and brewery scene, you get the best of both worlds with walkability when you want it and a peaceful retreat when you do not. A rare blend of style, function, and views, because you should not have to choose.
