Bright North Beach midcentury with expansive water views
Built in 1957, this midcentury home in Seattle’s North Beach neighborhood is on the market. 2316 NW 97th St. is a four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom house situated across 3,540 square feet. The home enjoys abundant light and expansive views—of both Puget Sound’s waters and the Olympic Mountains—from its perch in the northwest corner of town.
From nearly every nook and cranny of the main floor’s living spaces, you can watch the comings and goings of container and cruise ships, ferry boats, pleasure crafts and other vessels traversing the sound. A sliding door off the living and dining room provides a prime viewing experience with room to entertain and weather-blocking coverage overhead.
Back inside, a dropped ceiling creates a cozy vibe around the sandstone-clad gas fireplace and hearth surround. The roofline vaults dramatically from there providing a light and bright backdrop throughout the space. The primary suite boasts a walk-in closet and attached bath, and two additional bedrooms and a full bath can be found elsewhere on the main floor.
A daylight lower level with high ceilings and big windows is where you’ll find a fourth bedroom, another bathroom, a spacious family room and a slider that opens onto a patio and then deeper into the backyard. Enjoy time gathered around the fire pit or hone your green thumb with the raised beds nearby.
