On Waverly Way, one of the most desired locations in Kirkland, an architectural gem is available to purchase.  It proves that a home of innovative design, quality execution, and stupendous views is more nurturing and sustainable than one that celebrates sheer size.  The “build better not bigger” urging of Susan Susanka is so refreshing.  “This quintessential “Not So Big House” is mere steps to the play fields of Heritage Park and a short stroll to the downtown core.

Views are maximized from nearly every room.  Double-height glass walls show ever-changing scenes: winter storms rolling in off the lake, sunsets touching the mountains, the dazzling sparkle of city lights, sailboat races on Thursday nights.  Your favorite part of the day just may become watching this and more from the swing of your intimate master suite balcony.

Great architecture is about creating style and function; you’ll find both in abundance.  The kitchen is placed to allow views in two directions, and is conveniently near the garage. Entertain as many as eight guests in the formal dining room, cleverly near the kitchen yet visually separate.  The master suite floats above the living room, with the best views of all.  Guestrooms are away from the master suite for privacy, and share yet another view deck.  A laundry near the bedrooms is handy.  The home office or hobby room is on the lower level, apart from other activities.

The mature, verdant landscape encourages you outside and provides uncommon privacy.  The deck off the living room is great for entertaining, or look over the hedge to see if the courts are free for a spirited game of tennis.

All this is an easy stroll to summer concerts in Marina Park, the Wednesday farmer’s market, great restaurants and art galleries, the new library.  It’s what makes living here so engaging and vital. And this particular property is about easy living, effortless entertaining, and views to die for. An immaculate residence West of Market…you’re going to love it here.
