WELCOME TO VICTORY HEIGHTS IN NORTH SEATTLE.
Meticulous Mid-Century home tucked away in coveted Victory Heights. Almost every room in the flexible floor plan of this home captures views of the incredibly private and peaceful gardens.
the MAIN FLOOR welcomes you with a walk-in coat closet and a large living room featuring a remote-controlled gas fireplace. The wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that extends the east side of the home overlooks the flagstone patio and private landscaped front yard. A lovely dining room and an open, remodeled chef’s kitchen with two ovens and thoughtfully designed storage, also look out through large garden windows. There are 2 sizable bedrooms with red oak under the carpet, and a phenomenal bonus room with open beam ceilings and continuous windows that overlook the private back gardens. A remodeled 3/4 bathroom rounds out this sprawling main floor.
the LOWER FLOOR, once used as an art studio and private practice, is now utilized as a guest suite. Use your imagination with this flexible space. It features a family room, laundry area, workshop, ample storage, a 3rd bedroom with a gas fireplace, and a 3/4 bathroom.
the GARDENS are a work of art. The incredibly serene and private yards were transformed over six years into a Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary. This is a certifiable program developed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (currently called Habitat at Home), which encourages homeowners to connect more directly with nature.
The important features of this program include providing wildlife with food, water, shelter, and space. These are the features we have worked to develop here. Many of the plants are a food source for both animals and insects. The fountain attracts birds for bathing and drinking and insects such as mud wasps that gather droplets of water for nest building. The larger evergreens and bushes offer rest and shelter for birds, rabbits, and squirrels, as well as cover and protection for nesting.
Most of the mature plantings adapt well to both rainfall and drought conditions. Additional watering and sprinkling are rarely necessary. From Japanese Maples to giant Peony bushes, each plant was intentionally chosen to thrive in its specific area and create privacy and ambiance both inside and outside the home.
Garden vegetables are planted seasonally in open areas of the garden and in raised beds.
Flagstone paths and patios, a bubbling fountain, a cedar garden shed, and a private hot tub from which to enjoy the garden, round out this lovely oasis.
