Call me crazy but I think that this is a great time to post a listing. What better things do luxury buyers have to do than troll the internet for scrumptious properties for when we are released from our required “staycation”?
3727 W Barrett is a beauty. I listed it a few weeks ago but took it off of the market for a needed refresh.
We always had one of the best views in the city and one of the best locations so here it is transformed for the way we all want to live—now.
Gorgeous, neutral carpeting was installed over 3 floors (yes, hardwoods remain), all new cream white paint coats the walls, a hex tile now adorns the floor of the master bathroom which is almost Belltown condo sized . Wallpaper has been removed, new lighting graces the vaulted entry and baths and the staging…How do I say it is beyond sexy but warm? Chantel at Experience Design made it look ready for a family to move right in.
This home is large but scaled for everyone to have a special space. A full floor master suite with sitting room, office or meditation/yoga room , spa bath and his and her closets so big that you don’t have to relocate your off season clothing.
The main floor is made for entertaining with spaces that flow from the formal living room into the dining area, kitchen and enormous great room. Two pantries, bath, laundry and guest suite also occupy this level. Need I forget to mention the exceedingly rare 3 car garage?
The lower floor is made for kids, guest and wine! 3 bedrooms, family room, baths and a 400-bottle wine cellar complete with tasting room. Let the party begin!
But what about the views? Located on a quiet corner at the highest point in the city (water tower is a block away) and former location of the residence of iconic restaurateur, Ivar Hagland, this is a view that rivals any in our picturesque city. From its lofty perch, vistas sweep from the Olympic Mountains to the Cascades over Puget Sound with Mt Rainier and downtown front and center. Sparkling sunsets and glittering nighttime panoramas with ever changing marine traffic enchant.
Don’t like traffic? No worries. In ten minutes by car and a few more by bus, you are at Seattle Center, downtown, South Lake Union or the Stadiums. Expedia is a bike ride close as is Discovery Park if hiking is more to your liking.
3727 West Barratt has the neighborhood feel of suburbia but a mere few blocks to Magnolia Village, where you can find everything your heart desires without racing into the city. Every tradesperson will call you by name in a matter of weeks. It’s that kind of place.
So while we are in lockdown, check out these photos and the virtual tour and bring up your pent up demand for a private showing once we resurface.
I will be waiting.
