Northwest Contemporary urban treehouse in leafy Montlake

Sandwiched between the Washington Park Arboretum and Interlaken Park in Seattle’s Montlake neighborhood, 1818 25th Ave. E is on the market. Nestled amid treetops, the two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom home features a main floor great room with vaulted ceilings, a lofted primary bedroom and lush yard that’s primed for relaxing or entertaining.

Through the home’s main entrance, a split-level landing leads either upstairs to the master suite or downstairs to the second-floor great room. Starting on the property’s top level, the primary suite enjoys a lofted layout with high ceilings and windows overhead. In addition to ample closet space, the master bath is equipped with heated floors, a soaking tub, walk-in shower and steam sauna. Down the floating staircase to the great room, natural light permeates, there’s a wood-burning fireplace in the corner, and an oversized sliding glass door that opens onto a cozy deck. The interior-most portion of the main floor is where you’ll find the kitchen, awash with countertop space and cabinet storage. 

On the lower level, an ADU is set up to host guests or short-term renters and is complete with a kitchenette, private deck, bedroom and bathroom and full-size washer and dryer. Outside, pathways wrap around the front of the house and lead into the verdant backyard. Mature evergreens sit alongside maples and ferns, while a gravel carve-out provides space to container garden, lounge and/or dine.
