About this property.

Perched directly above Three Tree Point, this iconic Mid-Century home was first featured in the Seattle Post Intelligencer’s Home & Garden section in 1954 as “The Cliffside Home”. Architects Lawrence & Hazen, AIA, designed a residence that seems to hover over the hillside, unfolding across distinctive levels & follows the natural contours of the land. West facing, the house opens to a captivating, ever-changing panorama—from sunrise to glowing sunsets sinking behind the Olympic Mountains. Walls of glass frame a wide tableau of Puget Sound & its marine activity: ferries, tugboats & large vessels threading between neighboring islands, all set against iconic Pacific Northwest vistas. On the street side, clerestory windows & solid walls preserve privacy & calm, while the intriguing off-center roofline & tiered layout give the home its signature character, compact & efficient, yet easily expandable for entertaining & overnight guests. Thoughtfully restored for modern living, the house retains its original essence. System & comfort upgrades—including A/C—make everyday living effortless, while the flexible ground-level w/ its own kitchen offers ideal potential for an ADU, guest suite, or multigenerational space. Open living areas spill onto expansive patios & deck, extending daily life & gatherings into the outdoors & fully embracing the breathtaking natural setting. Welcome to Puget Sound front-row living, just min from beach access, quaint Olde Burien's amenities & SeaTac airport.
