Situated in Seattle’s historic Windermere neighborhood, this 13,000-square-foot property boasts iconic mid-century modern architecture.

The homeowners were motivated by outdated and non-functional exterior spaces to develop outdoor living, entertaining, and play areas that would enhance the home's mid-century architectural style and establish a cohesive connection with the interior. The property’s unique layout allowed for the addition of a sport court with seating and viewing areas, plus a patio featuring a fire pit, seating, and covered cooking and dining space (covered structure by others). Play lawns, pathways, and gardens were incorporated, and lighting extended evening use. Screening trees and shrubs, and custom fencing ensured privacy. Upgrades included a new driveway, screening for recycling and utilities, among other enhancements.

This transformed mid-century home and property maintains its iconic style and delivers updated features for modern living.
