Modern Mastery in Denny Blaine

This new contemporary at 541 Lake Washington Blvd E could hardly be more “at one” with the land.  A combination of 54 Pin piles, 5 helical anchors, and 110 yards of concrete not only support the structure but also retain the hillside, which was formerly considered too unstable for construction.  Designer/builder First Lamp worked with a team of expert engineers, excavators, and foundation subcontractors to survey the property and determined that development would actually increase the stability of the site.  The resulting design is a true reflection of the location.

Listed for $1,489,000, this 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath is accessed via private driveway from Lake Washington Blvd.  The handsome exterior is covered in cedar, charred to deepen the color, and topped with 2,000 sq ft of living roof, one of many 4-star Built Green features.  A fireplace anchors the open living and dining space, adjacent to the fully-equipped chef’s kitchen.  Varying wood tones throughout lend warmth to this bright, modern home.  The master gets its own floor at the top, with an ethereal master bath.  I love how the lighting and layout make the room glow.  Plus, there’s a gorgeous treetop view from the bathtub.  I can definitely imagine relaxing there, or on the private master deck.

Many more custom features make this home a true stand-out.  It will be open Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd from 1-4 PM, if you’re interested in seeing it in person.
