Once part of the historic Denny Blaine estate, this art-lovers carriage house was re-imagined by noted NW architect George Suyama into a serene, light-flooded aerie featured on the cover of Metropolitan Home. Loft-like public spaces surround a dramatic two-story atrium featuring a floating steel staircase, massive skylight, and stained concrete flooring. Flexible layout includes master with spa-like bath, 2-3 additional bedroom or office alternatives, substantial secret garden and private, European-style outdoor living room. More common in New York or London, a rarity in Seattle. One-of-a-kind.
