Tucked in next to the North side of Discovery Park is the ever-quiet West Lawton Street. Homeowners who have been fortunate enough to land in this special location experience not only breathtaking views and a sense of seclusion - but also easy access to delightful afternoons in the park, a quick trip down to the locks, or an easy walk to Ballard for the Sunday market. At the center of it all is this enchanting in-city retreat, only minutes to downtown but a world away as you enjoy your favorite end-of day beverage watching sailboats return from the Sound or the herons flying eye-level past your window. When so many are working from home or going to school on-line - you could not ask for a better, more flexible environment to give everyone not only space - but a sense of sanctuary as well.

This marvelous contemporary home begins with a private, front courtyard and lush mature gardens which lead you to a covered entry. Once inside, enjoy the elegant social spaces of the home, beginning with a gracious living room and dining room set in a great-room style featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, a custom mantled cherrywood fireplace with slate surround, hardwood floors, a wall of floor to ceiling windows to take in the views, and French doors out to a covered deck - an truly impressive scenario for indoor/outdoor entertaining. From there, pass into a fully remodeled kitchen offering stainless appliances including a Blue Star range, a Subzero refrigerator, a Miele wall oven/microwave and a Bosch dishwasher, sleek custom cabinetry with ample storage, custom tile backsplash, and a center island with quartz countertops, seating and a second prep sink.

The living spaces of the home provide a stunning master suite with still more vaulted ceilings and bay views, custom built-in shelving and entertainment center, a huge walk-in closet, and a custom four-piece spa-like bathroom. In addition, the main floor provides three more good-sized bedrooms and two more bathrooms including a second master suite with an updated three-quarter bath and walk-in closet. In the daylight lower level you will find a space flexible for additional social spaces or a separate living space - with a fifth bedroom, a newer three quarter bathroom, a full second recently remodeled kitchen with tile surround and floors, a delightful second living room/family room with a gas fireplace, a second newer laundry room, and French doors which open to a covered patio, an entertaining deck and the beautiful back yard and the mature gardens designed with rolling color for all seasons.. The two separate entrances to the lower floor also add to the myriad of options in how to use this space.

Finally, the home provides a private home office/ studio set apart from the main living area - with both indoor and outdoor access - that still embraces the incredible views of Salmon Bay. All this in an unmatched location close to the best restaurants, retail, and recreation in Magnolia, Ballard and downtown.
