In love with this early Olson-Kundig view home that I just won for my client in Leschi. Bested 5 offers 🙂 It doesn't even look like a picture of a home in Seattle, right?

Olson-Kundig is the only architectural firm in WA state that made this year's Architectural Digest 100 (AD100).

$2,100,000 USD. Designed by modernist architect Ralph Anderson, this mid-century home represents a case study in synergy between structure and site, expertly juxtaposing dramatic ceiling heights, organic contours, and stained wood elements with surrounding natural beauty.

The home's character-filled elements celebrate our region through extensive use of materials such as Mica stone, terrazzo tile, and CVG fir framing.

Breathtaking, protected westerly views of Puget Sound & The Olympics from most rooms to enjoy the PNW's finest sunsets and endless hours of storm watching, wildlife viewing, and large ship spotting in all four seasons.

The home's floorplan is an entertainer's dream featuring a large view deck off the kitchen, a view den with a bar, and extensive parking.

Offering exceptional privacy on an oversized lot, the grounds are a showcase of mature landscaping and provide ample space to roam.

Welcome to Innis Arden - beach, trails, a pool, protected water views, tennis courts, and frequent community-building events await you.
