Colorful beachfront home in West Seattle

Built in 2014 on West Seattle’s western edge, 4827 Beach Dr. SW is a four-bedroom home on the Puget Sound with direct water access. Reflecting the tranquility of waterfront living and the energy of modern architecture, this view home provides an ideal melding of space and setting. Nestled between Alki Beach and Lincoln Park, some of its premier offerings include unobstructed water and mountain views from the backyard and nearly every floor and eco-friendly, LEED-certified design.

Inside, unhindered natural light and salty sea breezes co-mingle seamlessly with the home’s natural finishes. The open-concept living, dining and kitchen areas on the main floor are bright and inviting. A grand, cozy fireplace—one of several in the house—and built-in storage cabinets stretch across one side of the living area. Cascadia sliders open onto a large, slightly elevated deck. Set up to entertain, views from the stretch beyond Vashon Island to south Banbridge Island and the West Seattle lighthouse. A few steps further into the backyard, and you can dip your toes or your kayak into Puget Sound’s shimmering blue waters.

The kitchen is well-equipped with cabinet storage and pantry space. Stainless steel appliances line one side of the kitchen—a tomato-red accent wall that pairs perfectly with the room’s orange and red-hued backsplash. Upstairs, the calming, blue-toned primary suite offers the same incredible mountain and sound views, a spa-like master bath and a private balcony. Elsewhere, a guest suite with kitchenette is a versatile bonus at this property, setting up the opportunity for generational living.
