Modern Cedar Park home with Lake Washington views

Designed by Seattle-based architect Peter Cohan, 12706 42nd Ave. NE is a five-bedroom home in northeast Seattle’s Cedar Park neighborhood. Built in 2008, the modern, 5,410-square-foot property features dramatic indoor-outdoor spaces. From its hilltop perch, the abode offers expansive views of Lake Washington and an idyllic park-like setting. 

Situated among evergreens and lush gardens, the home exudes peacefulness and privacy. On the main floor, a wall of oversized glass sliders opens onto a luxe limestone terrace. The terrace is one instance of many where the lines are blurred between indoor and outdoor. Across the home, views of Lake Washington are prominent from numerous patios, deck spaces and oversized windows. The living room features a large, stone fireplace and hearth with built-in log storage. Pale oak floors and cabinetry—from the kitchen cabinets to the mud room’s cubby storage—provide a warm organic counterpoint to the home’s steel and concrete elements. 

Up the floating staircase, four generous rooms and a home office are located on the upper level. The primary suite features a private corner deck with sweeping lake views, plus a wall of windows and cozy seating area. The spa-like master bath is wood-lined and includes a soaking tub, separate shower and double vanity.
