Seward Park split-level with space to entertain

5417 S Orcas St. is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom midcentury dream in Seattle’s Seward Park neighborhood. At 2,810 square feet, the split-level home sits above street-level on a corner lot with Lake Washington views. The property’s noteworthiest characteristics include plenty of original midcentury details, plus ample outdoor space to entertain—or lounge.

Built in 1955, oversized windows on the main level flood the space with natural light. The main living area sits below a soaring, pitched roof covered in beautiful wooden beams. A massive wood-burning fireplace on one side of the living room is just one of two in the home. Past the dining room, the home’s kitchen reflects the timeless midcentury style with clean lines and a lack of excess. Two spacious bedrooms, including a master that provides direct backyard access, are located on the main floor, as well as two bathrooms.

Off the living room, a large, elevated patio sits above the two-car garage. A perfect spot for morning coffee, evening cocktails or weekend entertaining, the outdoor living area is surrounded by mature growth—like you’re in a treehouse.

Downstairs, you’ll find a second living area with fireplace, plus a bedroom, bathroom and laundry area. Plenty of extra square footage in the lower level opens up options for work, school or hobbies, as well as plenty of storage space.
