Five-bedroom Shoreline retreat with panoramic Puget Sound, Olympic Mountain views

Built in 1949, 825 NW 197th St. is a five-bedroom, four-bathroom Northwest modern estate in Shoreline. Laid out across a 4,940-square-foot floorplan, the property was designed by renowned architect Paul Thiry—known as the father of architectural modernism in the Pacific Northwest. Thiry designed the home to capture the panoramic Puget Sound and Olympic Mountain views to the west from nearly every room.

Through the front door and to the right, you’ll find the home’s formal dining room, chef’s kitchen and an adjoining informal living room. To the left are the bedrooms, bathrooms, an office space and stairs to the upstairs bonus area. Directly across from the impressive entryway with soaring ceilings, the formal living room provides instantaneous views of Puget Sound’s sparkling waters and nearby mountains, as well as a cozy fireplace and access to the patio that runs along the back of the home.

The property’s primary ensuite boasts plenty of closet storage, a bathroom with separate vanity areas and dual-sliding doors that open onto a hot tub deck. Outside, a lush oasis puts colorful gardens—and panoramic views—on perfect display.
