E. Cobb Designed Modern In Madrona

Officially, this 1951 Madrona home was renovated in 2005, and what a renovation it was!  Designing modern homes that are able to balance form and function is not easy (successes are few).  Either implementation fails to reflect a great design, or it wasn’t a good design in the beginning.   This house at 915 38th Ave is a win.

Designed by E Cobb Architects, this 3 bedroom, 1.75 bathrooms, with 2,710 square feet is listing for $1,250,000.  For the money, 1.75 bathrooms is kind of stingy.  The only weakness I find in the design relates to saving the original 1 car garage/basement walls.  They probably saved money in the short term, but they ended up with a narrow garage door which doesn’t blend into the design.

Open House continues today (Sunday).

Love the swing…
