Property Description

A Rare Seaview Sanctuary…Some homes are more than a place to live; they touch your heart. Tucked away along a private drive, this warmhearted Seaview hideaway is making its first market appearance in nearly 70 years! Just 500 feet from Puget Sound, this treasured retreat offers a rare blend of privacy, character, and breathtaking natural beauty. Enjoy stunning panoramic views from both levels as ferries glide across the water, sailboats drift by, seagulls soar, and the occasional eagle graces the sky. From dramatic winter storms to golden summer sunsets, every season paints a new masterpiece outside your windows. Sliding doors open to a generous wraparound entertainment deck, perfect for unforgettable gatherings or quiet moments soaking in the view. A lower-level patio, charming trails, and mature native and rare landscaping create an enchanting escape. Yet adventure and convenience are close at hand, with beautiful Lincoln Park and the vibrant waterfront restaurants and activities of Alki Beach just 10 minutes away. Offered through the estate of Nathylie and husband, prominent mid-century artist, Lloyd Claussen who is referenced in the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art, this special property carries a legacy of creativity and history. More than a home, this is a peaceful, living work of art, and a once-in-a-generation opportunity to write the next chapter of a remarkable story.
