About this home
This west-facing haven is pure West Seattle magic — a sparkling jewel box w/ sweeping Sound, mountain, ferry & Vashon views. Light pours through from morning to golden hour as ferries glide by & sunsets soften to blush & deep blue. Two beautifully defined living spaces: an intimate fireside den & a formal living + dining room wrapped in showstopping views, opening wide to the spectacular view deck — the star attraction! There is a happy, creative energy here, palpable from the moment you arrive. Warm, soulful & beloved for years, the residence has an ease & magnetic aura all its own. A primary suite, petite second bedroom or office, two full baths & a built-in west-facing Murphy bed create a wonderfully flexible layout. The landscape is just as special: a serene zen garden w/ twinkling lights, anchored by a majestic Japanese maple & architectural pines, plus tiered west-facing grounds that glow in afternoon & evening sun — a beautiful blank canvas for a coveted vegetable garden & lush plantings. The deck becomes an outdoor living room — made for long al fresco dinners, fire pit evenings & watching boat life drift across the Sound. An attached garage adds everyday ease. Custom-built in 1941 for Danish-born American artist Gudrun Brask, the residence carries a meaningful legacy of creativity, warmth & soul. Tucked along a coveted dead-end street, this is a dream primary residence or Airbnb retreat — a deeply loved, light-filled sanctuary ready to be treasured for generations.
