About This Home
Set just above charming downtown Kirkland, this 5 bedroom Northwest Contemporary offers a sense of ease from the moment you arrive, with soft natural light, clean lines, and glimpses of Mt. Rainier, the Bellevue skyline, and surrounding greenery. Life unfolds naturally on the main level, where rich hardwood floors lead you through open yet defined spaces designed for gathering and day to day living. The kitchen becomes the natural place to linger, anchored by alder cabinetry and generous workspace, with a thoughtful connection to both dining and living areas. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet evening, the flow feels intuitive, extending effortlessly to the balcony where sweeping views create a memorable backdrop. Just beyond, additional living spaces offer flexibility, making it easy to shift between work and connection throughout the day. The main level primary suite is set apart, offering a quieter place to unwind, with a spa-like bath that encourages a slower pace. Three additional bedrooms and a well-placed laundry room complete the level with everyday convenience. Downstairs, the home opens up to even more possibility, with space that can evolve into a private ADU or remain as an extension of the home for guests, longer stays, or multi-generational living. Thoughtfully designed and easy to live in, this home balances openness with privacy, all within moments of parks, beaches, and the energy of downtown Kirkland.
