Renovated Broadview midcentury with Puget Sound views

Situated just north of Carkeek Park, 12545 8th Ave. NW looks out across the Puget Sound’s shimmering blue waters across to Bainbridge Island and the Olympic Mountains beyond. The 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom midcentury home was built in Seattle’s Broadview neighborhood in 1953 and offers 3,220 square feet of living space. It’s a real best of both worlds situation because the residence has retained many of its true-to-the-period, now sought-after details, while also having undergone a significant renovation to modernize and create efficiencies.

Inside the front door, you’ll immediately notice that the entire home is oriented toward the west—taking in sweeping territorial and water views through a wall of giant windows and an adjoining deck. A distinct wire-free viewing experience might stand out to you, too—this north Seattle pocket neighborhood boasts underground power and covenants to protect its awe-inspiring views.

 A bright, modern kitchen complete with eat-in bar, stainless appliances and wine fridge flows into the neighboring dining and living rooms. Grab a chilled bottle of wine, and step onto the roomy elevated deck. Cozy up by the firepit or host an epic gathering—the home is equipped and ready for either. The primary suite is outfitted with a private balcony accessible via slider door and a chill vibes-inducing bath with double-vanity and soaking tub. The primary bedroom and an office are on the main floor, while three bedrooms and a large rec room that connects to the backyard are on the lower level.
