4 Beds 3 Baths 3,040 Sq.Ft.
Sweeping Sound & Mountain Views | Timeless Design | Rare Opportunity
Perched in one of West Seattle’s most coveted enclaves, this exceptional 1968 Mid-Century Modern captures the essence of Northwest living. Set on a quiet Fauntlee Hills street with underground utilities—meaning no wires interrupt your view—this home offers uninterrupted vistas of the Puget Sound, ferries crossing to Vashon Island, and sunsets that set the sky aglow above the silhouetted Olympic Mountains.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s architectural pedigree is unmistakable. Handpicked Montana Travertine clads the façade, while a California-style breezeway with an open-air skylight above a Japanese maple creates a striking, almost cinematic welcome. Inside, the design celebrates volume, light, and connection to nature: vaulted ceilings with exposed beam, a slate floor entry, and walls of glass frame a wide southwesterly view, drawing the outdoors in. A 500-square-foot deck extends the living space, inviting gatherings, quiet reflection, or simply basking in the daily drama of sky and sea.
The thoughtful floor plan balances style with function. With 4 bedrooms plus an office and 2.5 bathrooms, there is space for both privacy and community. The spacious primary suite opens directly to the backyard, offering a retreat that feels grounded in nature. The daylight lower level carries the mid-century spirit forward with a classic built-in bar and a generous family room with fireplace, also oriented toward the water view—perfect for entertaining or unwinding fireside with a drink in hand.
Recent updates, including fresh interior and exterior paint, new carpet, updated kitchen flooring, and select stainless appliances, blend seamlessly with the home’s original character. The enduring craftsmanship is evident throughout, from 2x10 joists to solid finishes, built to stand the test of time.
Outdoors, the large, level backyard is a canvas for your imagination—room for gardens, or even a future pool. With a 2-car garage and easy street parking, function meets form in every detail.
Beyond the property, the lifestyle is quintessentially West Seattle. Stroll to nearby Lincoln Park with its forested trails and saltwater shoreline, connect with neighbors in the Endolyne district’s shops and cafés, or simply savor the serenity of Fauntlee Hills, where quality-built homes and pride of ownership define the community. All of West Seattle’s amenities are close at hand, yet here, the pace slows and the view takes center stage.
This is more than a home—it is a rare opportunity to own an architectural treasure with enduring quality, soulful design, and limitless potential to create your own West Seattle masterpiece.
